(Initially suggested by @nategraf, related to comments #217 (comment) and #217 (comment)) Add hybrid_array as a dependency. Then: Enforce Decoding::Repr is a mut array via type Repr: Default + AsMut<[T; _]> (nightly) and hybrid_array::AsArrayMut (in stable). Remove ByteArray<const N: usize>([u8; N]); and rely on hybrid_array instead.
From #217 : @nategraf suggests to drop the SEED_LEN bound on the entropy in ProverState::new_with_seed, for the prover's random coins. Some care must be taken when putting secrets of variable length into the hash function, double check this is not an issue.
