Asynchronous I/O

All requests to the IPFS engine are asynchronous, which does not block current thread.

This means that callers should normally use the async/await paradigm

async Task<Cid> AddText()
{
    var data = await ipfs.FileSystem.AddTextAsync("I am pinned");
    return data.Id;
}

If a synchronous operation is required, then this can work

Cid AddText()
{
    var data = ipfs.FileSystem.AddTextAsync("I am pinned").Result;
    return data.Id;
}

Or use .Wait() instead of .Result when the operation returns nothing.
