Test with JS-IPFS

[ntninja]

Since JS-IPFS has (mostly) feature-parity with Go-IPFS we should probably look into testing the client library with that daemon implementation as well.

Steps to be done:

• Fire up an JS-IPFS instance and run the py-ipfs-api test suite, then report what happend
• Fix any issues encountered (including skipping tests for features not present)
• Add CI-testing for Python 2.7 and the latest Python 3.X

@Alexander255 did you have any success with this? //cc @alanshaw

@daviddias: Never tried to be honest. Are there any recent events, that would make this worthwhile to investigate?

It should work first try, that’s what I was looking for :)

Hmm… but that result isn't really worth a lot without also running the test suite, figuring why stuff fails, implementing CI to ensure that things don't break unexpectedly…
I can run the test suite for you however and dump the results here if it is of any help.

Anyways using ipfshttpclient.connect() will almost definitely fail since js-IPFS's reported version likely doesn't match >=0.4.3;<0.5.0, right?
