Description

The ipfs files publish command would take the current files root hash, and would publish it as an IPNS entry for the node. It'd effectively be a shortcut for ipfs name publish $(ipfs files stat --hash /).

This seems trivial but I think it might remove UX friction.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement the `ipfs files publish` command by calling `ipfs name publish` with the output of `ipfs files stat hash /`. Add tests for the new command.
