feat: make ipfs.get output tarballs (#3785)

`ipfs get` on the cli writes files/folders to disk, also tarballs
and gzipped tarballs. Also gzipped individual files.

In the API it's very similar to `ipfs.ls`.  Make it more like the
cli so there's a clear reason to use one or the other.

Also adds types to `interface-ipfs-core` to better catch broken
types in `ipfs-core-types`.

BREAKING CHANGE: the output type of `ipfs.get` has changed and the `recursive` option has been removed from `ipfs.ls` since it was not supported everywhere

 | Name | Type | Default | Description |
 | ---- | ---- | ------- | ----------- |
+| archive | `boolean` | `undefined` | Return the file/directory in a tarball |
+| compress | `boolean` | `false` | Gzip the returned stream |

 | timeout | `Number` | `undefined` | A timeout in ms |
 | signal | [AbortSignal][] | `undefined` |  Can be used to cancel any long running requests started as a result of this call |
 
 #### Returns
 
 | Type | Description |
 | -------- | -------- |
-| `AsyncIterable<Object>` | An async iterable that yields objects representing the files |
+| `AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>` | An async iterable that yields bytes |
 
-Each yielded object is of the form:
+What is streamed as a response depends on the options passed and what the `ipfsPath` resolves to.
 
-```js
-{
-  type: string, // 'file' or 'dir'
-  path: string, // a deeply nested path within the directory structure
-  content?: <AsyncIterable<Uint8Array>>, // only present if `type` is 'file'
-  mode: Number, // implicit if not provided - 0644 for files, 0755 for directories
-  mtime?: { secs: Number, nsecs: Number }
-}
-```
-
-Here, each `path` corresponds to the name of a file, and `content` is an async iterable with the file contents.
+1. If `ipfsPath` resolves to a file:
+   * By default you will get a tarball containing the file
+   * Pass `compress: true` (and an optional `compressionLevel`) to instead get the gzipped file contents
+   * Pass `compress: true` (and an optional `compressionLevel`) AND `archive: true` to get a gzipped tarball containing the file
+2. If `ipfsPath` resolves to a directory:
+   * By default you will get a tarball containing the contents of the directory
+   * Passing `compress: true` will cause an error
+   * Pass `compress: true` (and an optional `compressionLevel`) AND `archive: true` to get a gzipped tarball containing the contents of the directory
 
 #### Example
 
 ```JavaScript
 const cid = 'QmQ2r6iMNpky5f1m4cnm3Yqw8VSvjuKpTcK1X7dBR1LkJF'
 
-for await (const file of ipfs.get(cid)) {
-  console.log(file.type, file.path)
-
-  if (!file.content) continue;
-
-  const content = []
-
-  for await (const chunk of file.content) {
-    content.push(chunk)
-  }
-
-  console.log(content)
+for await (const buf of ipfs.get(cid)) {
+  // do something with buf
 }
 ```
 
-When invoking this method via the HTTP API client, the response arrives as a stream containing either the entire contents of the file (if the passed [CID][] resolves to a file) or recursive directory tree and all files contained therein (if the passed [CID][] resolves to a directory).
-
-If you are iterating over a directory, in order to proceed to the next entry in the stream, you must consume the `content` field of the current entry if it is present.

 A great source of [examples](https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/packages/interface-ipfs-core/src/get.js) can be found in the tests for this API.
