      Dag-json marshal and unmarshal. · 10442b3c
      Eric Myhre authored
      And fixes to all the encoding systems for checking lengths when they're
      provided by map and list start tokens.  Inconsistencies there are now
      errors.
      
      And some consistency changes across all the encoders to keep the diff
      of the dag-json system as minimal as possible.  (Dag-json needs to
      refer to the last handful of tokens sometimes when parsing a mapClose,
      so we keep their values outside of the loop body now.)

      Dag-cbor marshal/unmarshal. · a274b2db
      Eric Myhre authored
      We now have CIDs support!  You can create links backed by cids,
      and marshal them with dag-cbor; and you can unmarshal cbor data
      with dag-cbor and expect things with the CID link tag to be parsed
      into CIDs and exposed as IPLD Links.  Yay!
      
      (Dag-json is lagging.  The parse for those links is... more involved.
      When supported, it'll similarly have its own unmarshal and marshal
      just like the ones this diff introduces for dag-cbor.)

      Repose refactored into several packages. · 57832ad7

      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.
