This PR adds implementation for buffered reads/writes from and to the shared memory ringbuffer during hint generation. The previous implementation would synchronize reads and writes at the granularity of one byte which is not ideal for performance. In this PR, we add support for synchronization across reads and writes of larger sizes. Both the ringbuffer-based proof trace reader and writer classes are updated to buffer incoming reads and writes: They collect data into an internal buffer and only interacting with the shared memory ringbuffer when that buffer is full in case of the writer or empty in case of the reader.
