feat!: Internal as a macro

[spalladino]

Implement internal functions as a macro. Internal functions are now written with an aztec(internal) decorator as opposed to the internal keyword.

Benchmark results

Metrics with a significant change:

• note_trial_decrypting_time_in_ms (8): 109 (+1267%)

Detailed results

All benchmarks are run on txs on the Benchmarking contract on the repository. Each tx consists of a batch call to create_note and increment_balance, which guarantees that each tx has a private call, a nested private call, a public call, and a nested public call, as well as an emitted private note, an unencrypted log, and public storage read and write.

This benchmark source data is available in JSON format on S3 here.

Values are compared against data from master at commit 245d8012 and shown if the difference exceeds 1%.

I'm fine with this. We'll probably remove the concept of a function being internal in future and just attach the function's custom attributes into the build artifact, so we don't need to thread knowledge of an aztec concept through the compiler.

Could we follow this up with another PR which makes the same change for the open keyword?

it should be quick to remove, the #[aztec(public)] already adds open
