InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) protocol support. One can access files stored
on the IPFS network through so called gateways. Those are http(s) endpoints.

This protocol wraps the IPFS native protocols (ipfs:// and ipns://) to be sent
to such a gateway. Users can (and should) host their own node which means this
protocol will use your local gateway to access files on the IPFS network.
protocol will use one's local gateway to access files on the IPFS network.
If a user doesn't have a node of their own then the public gateway dweb.link is
used by default.
If a user doesn't have a node of their own then the public gateway @code{https://dweb.link}
is used by default.
You can use this protocol in 2 ways. Using IPFS:
This protocol accepts the following options:
@table @option
@item gateway
Defines the gateway to use. When not set, the protocol will first try
locating the local gateway by looking at @code{$IPFS_GATEWAY}, @code{$IPFS_PATH}
and @code{$HOME/.ipfs/}, in that order. If that fails @code{https://dweb.link} will be used.
