Description
After #8886.
We could configure what the default multibase is, for example myself I work mainly in the terminal and prefer base64url
because it's shorter and pollute less of my screen.
I think the best way to do that would be an environment variable that the client read.
(there is no reason to force that config global to the node, however we don't have any client only config file and I don't think we need one).
Simply a simple:
export IPFS_DEFAULT_MULTIBASE=base256emoji
would be enough.
This flag would be used as default. If a command has a good reason to override it, such as ipfs cid format -b base32
for example, it would be ignored.
