avoid duplicating files added to ipfs #875

Description

@anarcat

it would be very useful to have files that are passed through ipfs add not copied into the datastore. for example here, i added a 3.2GB file, which meant the disk usage for that file now doubled!

Basically, it would be nice if the space usage for adding files would be O(1) instead of O(n) where n is the file sizes...
