embedded ipfs node

[cryptix]

Would be nice to work out how to get the ipfs shell api from an embedded node.

Would also benefit @noffle's ipget and others.

Hey, @whyrusleeping and I were just talking about this today. :)

I'd really like to see a wrapper for this: we have special case (get api node OR ad-hoc ipfs node) logic all over the place. Just using an ipfs shell everywhere would be great!

I started ipfs-embeddedShell to scratch my own itch.
Pull requests welcome, also happy to PR this somewhere, if wanted.

note to self: keep an eye on ipfs/kubo#1945

ipfs-embeddedShell is great! I used it to get started on this: https://github.com/noffle/easy-ipfs-shell
