      feat: support encoding/decoding peer IDs as CIDs in text (#41) · ba9101b5
      Marcin Rataj authored 
      What:

1. Supports decoding CIDs (of libp2p keys) as peer IDs 
   (https://github.com/libp2p/specs/issues/216)
2. Continues to encode peer IDs as base58 multihashes by default.
3. Adds functions for converting between peer IDs and CIDs.
4. Deprecates IDB58{Decode,Encode}, replacing them with {Decode,Encode}.

Why:

1. We _need_ to support multibase somehow, so we can put peer IDs in domains.
2. This makes peer IDs fully self describing. That is, the CID itself indicates that it's a hash of a libp2p public key.
3. It's much easier to upgrade wire protocols than text. This change punts
pids-as-cids on the wire down the road but that's something we can revisit if it ever becomes relevant. 

See https://github.com/libp2p/specs/issues/111 for context.

Deviations from that issue:

* This _retains_ the current peer ID inlining of ed25519 keys. That turned out to be a nightmare, one I'd like to punt a bit more down the road.
* Likewise, this _punts_ the question of embedding the multi-hash algorithm in the public key.
