See issue #101
A 'Range Error: Too many promises' error is thrown when reading a large file from disk. This error prevents running commands such as 'snarkjs powersoftau prepare phase2' on large files. In such circumstances, the number of promises reaches a limit inherent to node.js.
It is possible to circumvent the error by customising the node.js installation to insert a larger limit. This PR takes the approach of wrapping the promises array in an extra layer of batched promises. Large files can then be read with a native installation of node.js.
I have tested this code by successfully reading chunks of 34gb of data, sufficient to process a 2^28 powers of tau file.
