      Extract multi{codec,hash} registries better. · 8fef5312
      Eric Myhre authored
      And, make a package which can be imported to register "all" of the
      multihashes.  (Or at least all of them that you would've expected
      from go-multihash.)
      
      There are also packages that are split roughly per the transitive
      dependency it brings in, so you can pick and choose.
      
      This cascaded into more work than I might've expected.
      Turns out a handful of the things we have multihash identifiers for
      actually *do not* implement the standard hash.Hash contract at all.
      For these, I've made small shims.
      
      Test fixtures across the library switch to using sha2-512.
      Previously I had written a bunch of them to use sha3 variants,
      but since that is not in the standard library, I'm going to move away
      from that so as not to re-bloat the transitive dependency tree
      just for the tests and examples.

      Introduce LinkSystem. · a1482fe2
      Eric Myhre authored
      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.
