This enables experimental delegated routers (ipfs/js-ipfs#2155)
in embedded js-ipfs running in Brave (#716).

Coupled with preload, this gives us basic file sharing functionality back.
This is not the end goal, just a stop gap until we have real p2p transport, native DHT etc.

We got dedicated hostnames for use in delegate contexts: ipfs/js-ipfs#2291

We will reuse delegates here, but for now I use .preload. hostnames to make it easier to see which requests are from libp2p's routing modules, and which ones are triggered by preload logic in js-ipfs.

This switches to 0.2.x versions of delegate modules which work correctly
with js-libp2p + wip [1] fix for js-ipfs that caches DNS records for 1
minute, greatly reducing the HTTP request overhead to remote APIs.

This seems to work as expected, however remains experimental and opt-in for now.
Merging to include in the next Beta.
