Replace the codec-specific .dagWalkers property with a generic dag walker internally that uses the Block interface from the multicodecs module.

  • Removes the .dagWalkers property from the Helia interface
  • Adds getCodec and getHasher to retrieve codecs and hashers by code
  • Adds loadCodec and loadHasher options to allow sync or async loading of extra codecs/hashes in addition to staticlly configured ones in the codecs/hashers keys

BREAKING CHANGE: the .dagWalkers property has been removed

Change checklist

  • I have performed a self-review of my own code
  • I have made corresponding changes to the documentation if necessary (this includes comments as well)
  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works

Replace the codec-specific `.dagWalkers` property with a generic
dag walker internally that uses the `Block` interface from the
`multicodecs` module.

- Removes the `.dagWalkers` property from the Helia interface
- Adds `getCodec` and `getHasher` to retrieve codecs and hashers by code
- Adds `loadCodec` and `loadHasher` options to allow sync or async loading of extra codecs/hashes in addition to staticlly configured ones in the `codecs`/`hashers` keys

I think the pinning benchmarks should be re-run with this PR before merging. The multiformats/block .links() function works by deserializing a block into an object, then recursively walking every property and yielding any value that can be turned into a CID.

This could potentially be more expensive than deserializing a block, collecting CIDs during deserialization and then yielding them all as the DAGWalkers do.

a few things that could be changed, not sure if the networked-storage accepting an additional arg was done explicitly for some reason though

we need to run benchmarks to ensure no perf regression

Perf seems fine - the benchmark added by #633 shows comparable performance between this branch and main.
