Speed Optimizations

[NateWickstrom]

Two recommendations to make things faster.

1. Gzip the bins and then unzip during download. The downloadFile function in the IPFSDaemon would look like:

    val zipped = responseBody.source()
    val source = GzipSource(zipped)

    val buffer = Okio.buffer(Okio.sink(getBinaryFile()))

    var total = 0L
    var cnt = 0L

    do {
        cnt = source.read(buffer.buffer(), 1024)
        total += cnt

        val size = cnt / 1024
        progressDialog.setMessage("$size kB")
    } while (cnt > 0)

2. Compile the bins with target android-21: xgo -go 1.8.3 --targets=android-21/* ./cmd/ipfs, so you get the additional arm64 bin, which is way faster when applicable (most newer devices):

Thanks for the suggestions! Sorry I did not see this earlier - especially 2 souds like a great idea!
