New version of multiformats is ESM, and this requires ESM migration

[tegefaulkes]

Specification

The multiformats dependency has an internal type error. Right now it's being ignored since we added "skipLibCheck": true to the tsconfig.

We need to update the version to where it has been fixed by multiformats but any version above 10.0.0 fails to resolve the imports.

We need to dig into this further, however, it's low priority since it's a type error inside of the library and a warning at that.

Tasks

1. Update the version of multiformats to a version without the type error.
2. Resolve any issues with importing multiformats.

The new js-multiformats is in fact ESM native. I'm not sure if they even produce CJS modules anymore.

This is part of our overall ESM migration problem: MatrixAI/TypeScript-Demo-Lib#32

I'm adding this issue to the epic in TypeScript-Demo-Lib.

This is an example of where ESM can use CJS, but CJS cannot use ESM.

So therefore multiformats is being updated now in #27?

Yes.
