Since ipld/js-ipld@108aef0 codec names have started being passed around by `js-ipld` as numbers instead of strings. From a DX perspective it's still quite nice to use human-readable strings instead of numbers but at some point you have to convert between them so this PR adds methods to get a codec name based on a number and a number based on a name.
