feat: EXPERIMENTAL ipfsx API - boot procedure and add API method

This PR allows ipfsx to be used by calling `IPFS.create(options)` with `{ EXPERIMENTAL: { ipfsx: true } }` options.

It adds a single API method `add` that returns an iterator that yields objects of the form `{ cid, path, size }`. The iterator is decorated with a `first` and `last` function so users can conveniently `await` on the first or last item to be yielded as per the [proposal here](https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/ipfsx/blob/master/API.md#add).

In order to boot up a new ipfsx node I refactored the boot procedure to enable the following:

1. **Remove the big stateful blob "`self`" - components are passed just the dependencies they need to operate.** Right now it is opaque as to which components require which parts of an IPFS node without inspecting the entirety of the component's code. This change makes it easier to look at a component and know what aspects of the IPFS stack it uses and consequently allows us to understand which APIs should be available at which points of the node's lifecycle. It makes the code easier to understand, more maintainable and easier to mock dependencies for unit tests.
1. **Restrict APIs to appropriate lifecycle stage(s).** This PR introduces an `ApiManager` that allows us to update the API that is exposed at any given point. It allows us to (for example) disallow `ipfs.add` before the node is initialized or access `libp2p` before the node is started. The lifecycle methods `init`, `start` and `stop` each define which API methods are available after they have run avoiding having to put boilerplate in every method to check if it can be called when the node is in a particular state. See #1438
1. **Safer and more flexible API usage.** The `ApiManager` allows us to temporarily change APIs to stop `init` from being called again while it is already running and has the facility to rollback to the previous API state if an operation fails. It also enables piggybacking so we don't attempt 2 or more concurrent start/stop calls at once. See #1061 #2257
1. **Enable config changes at runtime.** Having an API that can be updated during a node's lifecycle will enable this feature in the future.

**FEEDBACK REQUIRED**: The changes I've made here are a little...racy. They have a bunch of benefits, as I've outlined above but the `ApiManager` is implemented as a `Proxy`, allowing us to swap out the underlying API at will. How do y'all feel about that? Is there a better way or got a suggestion?
