Fix VRF uniqueness violation

* renamed c, cH, ... with s, sH

it is called s in the CONIKS paper/in KT (in the cfrg draft and other literature it is called c, though)

* Adopt VRF to update in CONIKS paper
- add unique identifier: also hash h=H1(m), g^x and h^x (the VRF output) and not only with random nonce r (g^r, h^r); additionally hash m into H2 (as before)
- like in the paper add the base-point and public-key
- skip outdated test-vectors
- unrelated: remove formatting version of test-output where no placeholder is used

fixes #175
