Add support for caching program segment
I benchmarked some transactions and found a performance improvement of 3% when running old transactions (Cairo 0).
Some limitations:
This PR is not breaking, but to achieve this I had to expose an unsafe API. See safety notes on the
load_cached_program
function.I had to make the memory public, so that the user is able to cache the program segment. We could add a wrapper type to avoid exposing the memory.
