IPFS service for near.org

[gabehamilton]

The Nexus file upload currently uses the near social ipfs service. Near.org needs a dedicated copy that allows larger files and that kicks off asynchronous processing.

Tasks

Beta Give feedback

1. Fork https://github.com/NearSocial/ipfs-pin-proxy/ , change file limit
2. Terraform service: ipfs-pin-proxy with ipfs daemon
3. Trigger cloud function from ipfs-pin-proxy add endpoint
4. Write Issues for asynchronous processing and where that data gets written so that it can be fetched by the Nexus UI.

Processing notes:
Process for dataset characteristics
for malicious content.
UI Starts with Pending status until background checks have completed.
Result of check is written to service location, probably not on chain. It can't be written to the original location since the service is not that user.
