Description

I'd want an ipfs repo state cmd that can output the local state of an ipfs repo, boiled down to one hash.

> ipfs repo state

And to assist this, would like to get the pin root with

> ipfs pin root

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study how existing IPFS commands like 'ipfs pin ls' are implemented. Understand the internal state representation and pin root logic. Then add two new commands 'ipfs repo state' and 'ipfs pin root' to output the local state hash and the root pin hash respectively.
