v3.0.0

This version introduces a completely new design for ICICLE. We've developed a front-end user API that is backend-agnostic, supporting various hardware configurations. Additionally, we've added CPU support for MSM and NTT, with the CPU backend now set as the default. This allows developers to compile and run ICICLE seamlessly on Apple Mac and Linux machines as well.
