 * feat(BREAKING): Serialize `Array<Felt252>` return value into output segment in cairo1-run crate:
   * Checks that only `PanicResult<Array<Felt252>>` or `Array<Felt252>` can be returned by the program when running with either `--proof_mode` or `--append_return_values`.
   * Serializes return values into the output segment under the previous conditions following the format:
