fix #354
This is a somewhat naive fix, but i don't think it's totally unreasonable.
If you ask for
/ipfs/<cid>/path/to/filethe root of the car you get back will, with this change, be
<cid>.I think the complexity that led to the current structure was a desire to have the root cid be
file, but for validation and since the response car has blocks that are parents offile, it doesn't seem "incorrect" to say that therootof the structure in the car is<cid>.ref: ipfs/specs#402 (comment)
