refactor: default to base32 encoding for v1 CIDs #89

Closed alanshaw closed 5 years ago

This switches the default encoding for v1 CIDs from base58btc to base32. See https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/issues/1995 for details.

BREAKING CHANGE: The default string encoding for v1 CIDs has changed from base58btc to base32.

I can't put in an inline comment, there's still the sentence "The string form of CIDs currently defaults to base58btc" in the README. I think that should also be updated.

Good now @vmx?
