This significantly reworks how linking is handled. All of the significant operations involved in storing and loading data are extracted into their own separate features, and the LinkSystem just composes them. The big advantage of this is we can now add as many helper methods to the LinkSystem construct as we want -- whereas previously, adding methods to the Link interface was a difficult thing to do, because that interface shows up in a lot of places. Link is now *just* treated as a data holder -- it doesn't need logic attached to it directly. This is much cleaner. The way we interact with the CID libraries is also different. We're doing multihash registries ourselves, and breaking our direct use of the go-multihash library. The big upside is we're now using the familiar and standard hash.Hash interface from the golang stdlib. (And as a bonus, that actually works streamingly; go-mulithash didn't.) However, this also implies a really big change for downstream users: we're no longer baking as many hashes into the new multihash registry by default.
