Publish ActivityPub data into IPNS directory

[guoliu]

Current

This package is used to create and update personal websites on IPNS. When publishing a new article, it creates a separate directory with HTML, JS, CSS, and media files, attaches it to the IPNS directory, and updates the RSS feed, JSON feed, and index.html.

New feature requested

• Able to store ActivityPub data: JSON files of ActivityPub are stored in the same IPNS directory, alongside HTML, RSS, and JSON feed.
• Render article comments: The HTML web app can retrieve ActivityPub data from relative paths and render article comments.
• It should be able to accept an IPNS key pair and create or update the corresponding IPNS record
• It should be able to be used with local or remote IPFS nodes, likely by accepting the address of the IPFS.

The final API could be:

f(Activity: any, IPFSNodeAddress: string, IPNSKeyPair: any, NewDirectory: bool) ->  UpdatedIPNSRecord: string

ActivityPub integration by Distributed Press: hyphacoop/distributed-press-organizing#80 It would be ideal if both features/modules share the same API.
