Deploy go with delegated routing capabilities

[jacobheun]

Once ipfs/kubo#4595 is completed, we will need to deploy the updated go-ipfs version. This is needed to allow js-ipfs nodes to use go-ipfs as a delegate node for peer and content routing, which will enable js-ipfs nodes in limited networks to better connect and provide content to the greater ipfs network.

The js-ipfs delegated routing work is targeting to be completed by end of this quarter, but won't be functional until the go-ipfs deployment occurs.

This is currently blocked by ipfs/kubo#4595.

Closed when we deployed the preload nodes

@eefahy @lgierth do the preload nodes expose the http api? I tried connecting to them on 8080, but it doesn't resolve.

@jacobheun AFAIK preload nodes only allow GET requests to /api/v0/refs, everything else is (should be) blocked:

$ curl -s -I -X GET 'https://node0.preload.ipfs.io/api/v0/refs?r=true&arg=bafkreigh2akiscaildcqabsyg3dfr6chu3fgpregiymsck7e7aqa4s52zy'
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

This is my understanding too - @jacobheun what needs to be changed to allow the preload nodes to act as delegated routers?
