P2P fetch urls

I want to be able to host the all the source code hpkgs relies on via some external harddrives, it would be nice if people could easily provide bandwidth. P2P protocols seem to be good candidates for this.

We could support:

  • Bittorrent
  • maybe... ipfs

In general I don't want hermes itself to depend on more than plain C.

See also Hyperdrive and other Dat projects.

Main implementation is in JavaScript, but there is a Rust version: https://datrs.yoshuawuyts.com/
