Removing a pin of a hash that does not exist should fail immediately #2155

Performing a ipfs pin rm is a local command and should not require any connection to any network (I would believe). This also means that it should always fail immediately if the hash does not exist in the datastore.

Currently it will not, and in fact appears to hang indefinitely.

hahaha, it tries to fetch it from the network... good catch

Fixes ipfs#2155 by turning the hash path arguments into keys and
unpinning directly, rather than running a full core.Resolve on them.
This lets users fail fast when they try to remove pins that they don't
have locally.

Note that this will only work when the path is of the form <hash> or
/ipfs/<hash>. Given e.g. /ipfs/<hash>/foo, foo's key cannot be known
without first resolving <hash>, which may involve talking to the
network.

Thanks for catching this @travisperson! Key resolution happens separately from dag node resolution now for unpinning, which should be able to fast-fail in most cases now.
