Research direction
Implement a Go example demonstrating IPFS pub/sub using the go ipfs library. Follow the structure of existing examples in the repository, such as those in the 'examples' directory. The example should initialize an IPFS node, subscribe to a topic, publish a message, and handle received messages. Add comments to explain each step. After implementation, test the example to ensure it runs correctly.
