Upgrade to the new IPLD spec

[dignifiedquire]

• Setup dignified.js
• Upgrade all dependencies
• Bring ipld.marshal and ipld.unmarshal up to date with the new spec
• Add ipld.multihash to generate the canoncial multihash
• Use Cbor tag 258 as specified in https://github.com/mildred/specs/blob/cbor-tag-merkle-link/merkledag/cbor_tag_merkle_link.md

Items below will not be implemented in this repo

Add ipld.store to store objects either in memory or in ipfs to be used with the resolver
Add ipld.resolve to resolve paths (and links of course)
Add cli tool for interacting

@diasdavid please enable travis

Note that require('ipld') should be just the data struct and its features, when we can have the IPLD service (similar to DAG and DAGService) that plugs it into a IPFS Repo for storing and/or bitswap for resolving. We don't want to enforce strictly that storing and resolving should be through IPFS.

the IPLD-Service can be behind require('ipld').Service or even as a separate module :)

Travis enabled :)

I love that this is happening.
This work looks really great, I will have to go through it in more detail.
I have wrote last night a trivial demo (https://github.com/nicola/interplanetary-paths) of the scheme that I proposed in ipfs/specs#90 built on json (for the sake of showing how I would like ipld to be)

Last chat I had with Juan there was the issue of // and @link, hence why I started working on my proposal which avoids them (which I think, looking at the implementation and other comments, that we both converged to the same scheme - which is awesome)

ps: I hope to meet in person very soon and describe the full vision and align with you (and participate on this). This effort is so great and it will be a key piece for developers that will build on top of merkle dags/ipfs

Was it marsheled though?

unmarshal should be something like:

var file = IPLD.unmarshal(cborSerializedIPLDObj)

@diasdavid updated, I think this is ready for the first merge as discussed.

@nicola thanks for the kind words, I will be looking into path resolving in the next couple of days.
