[ipfs/go-bitswap] go-bitswap overhaul 2023

[BigLep]

This is currently a placeholder to start linking to as we draft up plans for this year of "overhauling" go-bitswap. This is some combination of addressing knowing performance and availability issues as well as new functionality.

Splitting server and client: ipfs/go-bitswap#568

[LaurenSpiegel]

should this be closed since ipfs/go-bitswap#568 is closed?

[BigLep]

@LaurenSpiegel : we'll keep this open currently as the overhaul isn't "done". The overhaul admittedly wasn't defined, and this was a placeholder to link things to. Splitting the client and server was a good start, but we also believe there are key things to do around instrumentation and alternative implementations.

We'll let needs coming out of Bitswap/Boost integration drive work priorities as otherwise the team is currently occupied with the reframe side and other maintenance.

A driver for this work in 2023 is Rhea needs per #209

It also relates to maintainer 2023Q2 milestone: ipfs/kubo#9819

Another item to be considered when the client is updated/rewritten: #81
