crypto/bn256: full switchover to cloudflare's code (#16301)

* crypto/bn256: full switchover to cloudflare's code

* crypto/bn256: only use cloudflare for optimized architectures

* crypto/bn256: upstream fallback for non-optimized code

* .travis, build: drop support for Go 1.8 (need type aliases)

* crypto/bn256/cloudflare: enable curve mul lattice optimization
