why us a 64 byte long CID? #6

Description

@DougAnderson444

Is there any particular reason Sha3-512 is used here?

&mh::Builder::new_from_bytes(Codec::Sha3512, v.as_slice())

I ask because it makes the CIDs longer. Sha2-256 or Blake3 256 would be 32 byte CIDs.

Is there a reason for this extra length?
