This PR aims at addressing #634.

In create_block_circuit, it range-checks diff = timestamp - parent_timestamp - 1 between 0 and 2ˆ32, as a way to ensure timestamp > parent_timestamp.

// In other words, we range-check `diff = timestamp - prev_timestamp - 1`

let diff = builder.sub(timestamp, prev_timestamp);
let diff = builder.add_const(diff, F::NEG_ONE);

I don't think we should do a minus 1 here. Timestamp is UNIX based, in seconds if I'm correct. If a chain were to have a block time of < 1 sec this check would fail. We should probably allow for 0 diff.
