Clarification/correction: we should probably call it GNUNET_FS_CHK or
something like that and NOT make it a URI but the binary encoding of the
information encoded in a FS URI. That's more efficient, and we can still
define the human-readable FS-URI encoding for the text representation.
That way we gain ~2x efficiency on the network, and the usability stays
pretty much the same.
