  1. Expose Pippenger multiplication for combining multiple sigs of same msg 

    In many use cases, there are multiple signatures of the same message,
e.g., Ethereum attestations often share the signed `AttestationData`.

For that situation, `blst` started exposing Pippenger multiplication
to accelerate this use case. Multiscalar multiplication is much faster
than individual scalar multiplication of each signature / pubkey.

Further optimizations may be achieved with parallel tiling, see the Rust
binding code in the `npoints >= 32` situation:

- https://github.com/supranational/blst/blob/v0.3.13/bindings/rust/src/pippenger.rs

Likewise, multiple pubkeys / signatures may be loaded simultaneously
using the new `blst` APIs.

We don't do either of these additional optimizations as our architecture
does not readily support them. Pippenger multiplication alone already
offers a significant speedup until prioritizing further optimizations.
