Description
It would be nice if I could supply a CID like a regular SHA hash and a file/folder and let kubo fetch the necessary metadata and check the local data for errors.
Rationale
I wrote a feature request for the usage of Kubo in Lutris and I noticed that this would be kinda neat, as they may want to fetch downloads via http(s) and only if this fails fetch them via ipfs.
This way they don't need a hash and a CID, but could just use the CID and have the URL once imported via URL-Store.
Usage
kubo verify --file=/path/to/file /ipfs/CID
kubo verify --ignore-auxiliary=1 --folder=/path/to/folder/ /ipfs/CID
(Where --ignore-auxiliary=1 in the folder version would ignore any additional files/folders like .git)
kubo verify /ipfs/CID
Would work analog to kubo get where it would search in the ./$CID folder for the file/folder structure.
Edit: Fix language
