[ipfs/go-bitswap] Docs On Initializing And Using Bitswap In Readme #110

It would be great to demonstrate how to setup and use bitswap in the Readme.

This would include initialization:

creating a libp2p host (can use mocknet for example purposes)
setting up a bitswap network interface (from Libp2p host -- see network/ipfs_impl.go)
initializing a blockstore
creating an instance of bitswap from context, blockstore, and network interface (may want to look at GraphSync README for model for this part) (github.com/ipfs/go-graphsync)

Use Bitswap, Including:

Request a block with GetBlock
Request multiple blocks with GetBlocks
Indicate you have a block with HasBlock
Get information with WantlistForPeer / LedgerForPeer
Create a Session (w/ NewSession)
- GetBlocks from a session

This would be awesome!
