feat: option to not read size of blocks for want-have requests

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -16,6 +16,8 @@ The following emojis are used to highlight certain changes:
 
 ### Added
 
+* `boxo/bitswap/server`:
+  * A new [`WithWantHaveReplaceSize(n)`](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/ipfs/boxo/bitswap/server/#WithWantHaveReplaceSize) option can be used with `bitswap.New` to fine-tune cost-vs-performance. It sets the maximum size of a block in bytes up to which the bitswap server will replace a WantHave with a WantBlock response. Setting this to 0 disables this WantHave replacement and means that block sizes are not read when processing WantHave requests. [#672](https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/672)
 - `routing/http`: added support for address and protocol filtering to the delegated routing server ([IPIP-484](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/484)) [#671](https://github.com/ipfs/boxo/pull/671)
