Allow (un-)pinning of ipns resources.

Allow (un-)pinning of ipns resources via the icon in the same way as ipfs resources.

Thank you for reporting this.

It seems to be possible to pin "current snapshot" of IPNS address via commandline:

> ipfs pin add --progress /ipns/ipfs.git.sexy
Fetched/Processed 12 nodes
pinned Qmazvovg6Sic3m9igZMKoAPjkiVZsvbWWc8ZvgjjK1qMss recursively

Unpinning is bit tricky, as it does not work for IPNS paths:

> ipfs pin rm /ipns/ipfs.git.sexy
Error: invalid 'ipfs ref' path

It needs to be unpinned by referring to immutable multihash:

> ipfs pin rm Qmazvovg6Sic3m9igZMKoAPjkiVZsvbWWc8ZvgjjK1qMss
unpinned Qmazvovg6Sic3m9igZMKoAPjkiVZsvbWWc8ZvgjjK1qMss

That being said, it seems to be doable – it just requires one additional lookup.
I'll look into this.

Done. This feature will be present in v2.0.0alpha3.
