allocate multicode tables so register functions don't panic

All of which now explicitly confess their cid-specificness.

Some things in the 'repose' draft were *really* twisted; I'm glad that
first draft is getting replaced before anything actually used it...

For example, NodeBuilderChooser was just ridiculously misplaced abstraction.
When doing a traversal, you have the local type information (if any) already
in hand, and can just... pick an appropriate NodeBuilder already.  Now that
the NodeBuilder is simply a parameter to Link.Load, everything shakes out
much, much more clearly as a result.

The cidlink package contains all concrete referns to Cids.  This implements
the ipld.Link and ipld.LinkBuilder interfaces... but if you don't import
the cidlink package in your program, you won't find any of the cid packages
(nor their numerous transitive dependencies) in your dependency set.

Multicodecs are now a registry which is confined in scope to the cidlink
package.  (It's global, but I think in practice this will be fine: it's a
plugin system, and there's no good cause for allowing variations in how
those magic bytes of cids are interpreted.)

There are now dagcbor and dagjson packages for encoding.  These explicitly
refer to the cidlink package (and register themselves on package init).
While these refer to cidlink, you could imagine we might also introduce
other encoding packages which *don't*.

Finally, note that the dagcbor and dagjson packages are in fact still not
done.  This is the same logic/completeness they had before this diff...
which does not include actual parsing of cids!  However, it's now clear
where to introduce that and at what scope.  (It will probably require
more duplication of unmarshalling code than desirable, but, alas, that
might simply be the cost of doing business.  Dagjson in particular has
topologically "interesting" things to handle that I'd be loathe to make
a sufficiently pluggable unmarshal traversal to support; it would be
possible, but likely a noticable slowdown to continuously check and
then promptly disregard the interesting case.)

Some work remains, but this is now pretty close to sanity.
