Redirect downloads to local IPFS gateway

[haadcode]

I added a small prototype of how "native IPFS downloads" would feel. This is a UX prototype and not necessarily how we should technically implement it, rather how it would feel as a user to be downloading at light speeds! 😄

Basic idea is that if a link contains IPFS_DOWNLOAD=Qm...Foo, the add-on will download the file from the local gateway. See the code for more detailed comments.

Cool, this seems to be a take on ipfs/notes#104

There was also a broader discussion at: ipfs/ipfs-companion#16 (it included URL hints, dnslinks and other things).

Thanks @lidel for the links! Hugely valuable in the context of this and the work we're doing atm.

@haadcode Ah neat! I didnt even see this until just now. How would this work in practice?

Closing as obsolete.
