json,cbor: switch to "ipld" tag #244

Closed rvagg closed 2 years ago

rvagg commented 2 years ago

This change moves us toward the "ipld" tag meaning something like "can logically be used as a codec code in a CID"; with the recognition that this is a bit squishy and there is some amount of gentle abuse around the edges of CIDs which we willingly turn a blind eye to.

Noone seems to oppose this, it's a very small change, and it's been a few days - merging.
