feat(verifier): create an auth info based on a authenticate one time witness

[miker83z]

Description of change

This PR introduces Autenticate One-Time Witness.

A module can define a several Authenticate One Time Witnesses (AOTW). An AOTW is a type that is never instantiated, and this property is enforced by the system.
We define an authenticate one-time witness type as a struct type that has the name starting with a predefined prefix followed by the name of an authenticate function in capital letters, and possessing certain special properties specified below (please note that by convention, "regular" struct type names are expressed in camel case).
In other words, if a module defines a struct type whose name is starting with the predefined AOTW prefix and has no fields, then this type MUST possess these special properties, otherwise the module definition will be considered invalid and will be rejected by the validator:

• it has a struct name where the prefix is followed by the name of a
  function in capital letters:
  • this function MUST be found in the same module;
  • this function MUST be a valid authenticate function;
• it has only one ability: drop
• it has only one arbitrarily named field of type boolean or it is empty
• its definition does not involve type parameters
• it is never instantiated anywhere in its defining module

Since it is never instantiated it is not really "one-time"; however, I kept the reference to OTW to make immediately clear to developers that we are dealing with a similar concept. Alternative names could be:

• Authenticate 0 Time Witness (A0TW)
• Authenticate Function Witness (AFW)
• AUTh Witness (AUTW)
