Add a "seed" mode to the daemon

[Rinse12]

The seed mode will support the demo subs through the following actions:

• Fetch the subplebbits' IPNS regularly and seed it for the rest of IPFS network
• Fetch the subplebbits' pages and comments and seed
• It will also subscribe to their respective pubsub topic, which should make propagating challenges much faster

Seems fine to me. IMO the flag should be called --seed (open to suggestions for a better name) and should be considered experimental, I expect the functionality and name will change later.

I also think it should not be enabled by default. The average CLI user probably doesn't want to waste his bandwidth without his consent. He probably doesn't want things happening in the background without his consent.

The GUI is different, most users of the GUI will probably consume the default subs one way or another, so prefetching them in the background is positive.

Should be implemented with version 0.7.0

It seems the API is

plebbit daemon --seed --seedSubs mysub.eth, myothersub.eth, 12D3KooWEKA6Fhp6qtyttMvNKcNCtqH2N7ZKpPy5rfCeM1otr5qU`

wouldn't it be better do to:

For default subs:

plebbit daemon --seed

For specific subs

plebbit daemon --seed mysub.eth --seed 12D3KooWEKA6Fhp6qtyttMvNKcNCtqH2N7ZKpPy5rfCeM1otr5qU --seed myothersub.eth

ie if --seed is true, seed default subs, if --seed is string[], seed the list of strings

There doesn't seem to be a way for oclif to have more than one type for a flag, as far as I know.

I created a feature request for it:
oclif/core#690

imo it should be plebbit daemon --seed <address> --seed <address> --seed <address> not plebbit daemon --seed <address> <address> <address> because it's difficult to know that the

are part of the --seed flag and not part of the daemon command.
