Multiple multihash implementations

See original GitHub issue

Just noticed there are (at least) two multihash implementations out there. Oddly, it appears as if they were created a few weeks apart:

@tehmaze’s implementation is mentioned in the main ipfs documentation and actually does the hashing for the user, my implementation offers an interface and __eq__. Can they be merged under a common repo?

Reviewing the discussion here and on #23 I conclude that https://pypi.org/project/pymultihash/ is the one-stop go to solution for computing multihashes in python. I’ll look into getting this moved into https://github.com/multiformats/py-multihash/ and added to the official list of implementations.

Closing this.

I’ve made a plan for implementing multihash/multihashing in this comment. Feedback welcome.
