BREAKING CHANGE: Object API refactor.

Object API methods that write DAG nodes now return a [CID](https://www.npmjs.com/package/cids) instead of a DAG node. Affected methods:

* `ipfs.object.new`
* `ipfs.object.patch.addLink`
* `ipfs.object.patch.appendData`
* `ipfs.object.patch.rmLink`
* `ipfs.object.patch.setData`
* `ipfs.object.put`

Example:

```js
// Before
const dagNode = await ipfs.object.new()
```

```js
// After
const cid = await ipfs.object.new() // now returns a CID
const dagNode = await ipfs.object.get(cid) // fetch the DAG node that was created
```

IMPORTANT: `DAGNode` instances, which are part of the IPLD dag-pb format have been refactored.

These instances no longer have `multihash`, `cid` or `serialized` properties.

This effects the following API methods that return these types of objects:

* `ipfs.object.get`
* `ipfs.dag.get`

See ipld/js-ipld-dag-pb#99 for more information.
