Python Client - March 20th - DAG-PB library tests - PLDG 2

@0-th

Accomplished Tasks

• Added edge-cases tests to the py-ipld-dag-pb library.
• Added form test cases to the library.
• Added protobuf test cases to the library.

Update

• Addition of edge-cases tests:

  • see PR here
  • everything went relatively well, @alanshaw review was helpful in pointing out mistakes that I skipped.

• Addition of form test cases:

  • see PR here
  • everything went well replicating test here as well. I had issues replicating about 2 test cases from the js library. I've added necessary comments explaining the problems I had replicating these test cases to the PR.

• Addition of protobuf test cases:

  • see PR here
  • everything went well, tests are passing as expected.

Next Tasks

• Adding py-ipld-dag-pb and py-ipld-car library here and also testing the library with the fixtures data in the repo.
  Yet to get confirmation from @alanshaw if we'd need to add the py-ipld-car libray as well but the repo has CAR files as fixtures too, so I thought it might be good to add it

Question from today: are you creating or using the fixtures?
https://github.com/ipld/codec-fixtures/blob/master/js/make-fixtures.js

Review, and share in the Discord what you think is best; share with @alanshaw and he'll give advice if needed

Question: Do I test the car IPLD feature?

@alanshaw -- low priority, very simple, think about it later
