This commits adds the BlockService directly to IPFS. It takes js-multiformats
CIDs as input and also returns new style blocks and no longer IpldBlocks.

It currently converts those CIDs and blocks into the legacy format, in order
to be compatible with the current ipfs-repo and ipfs-bitswap implementations.
In the future this kind of conversion will disappear, once the full stack is
using js-multiformats.

Since this changes the underlaying nodejs version supported which has consequences for various build tooling, will the major version be bumped when this is released?

The supported node versions are Current and Active LTS which at the time of writing are 14.x and 16.x.

CI is still run on these versions, the change you may be referring to here is switching what version the GH actions run on, which just do typechecking and report bundle size changes.

Where modules are 0.x.x the minor will be bumped, where they are x.x.x the major will be bumped, but this is because the constructor args have changed to accept IPLD codecs in place of ipld-formats, and the block API now accepts/returns Uint8Arrays in place of the { cid, data } tuple.

- Replaces the old [interface-ipld-format](https://github.com/ipld/interface-ipld-format) stack with the new [multiformats](https://github.com/multiformats/js-multiformats) stack.
- The Block API takes/returns `Uint8Array`s instead of [ipld-block](https://github.com/ipld/js-ipld-block) objects

BREAKING CHANGE: ipld-formats no longer supported, use multiformat BlockCodecs instead
