So, in a weird series of coincidences that I don't fully understand I need to fix this old bug (which I already fixed in the PR #4758 that I never finished) to be able to refactor some parts of the code of the DAG reader (see #5192 (comment)).

I'm selfishly assigning this PR a high priority to get it merged as soon as possible after the upcoming release, as it will simplify my work on the DAG reader.

Fixes #4519.


unixfs: fix `dagTruncate` to preserve node type

Extract the original `FSNode` passed inside the `ipld.Node` argument and modify
its `Blocksizes` (removing all of them and re-adding the ones that were not
truncated). In contrast, the replaced code was creating a new `FSNode` that was
not preserving some of the features of the original one.

All of the truncation related tests of the shareness are failing as the TRUNC_HASH was probably built with this bug in place, in a similar situation I was explained that previous test hashes can't be changed (#5120 (comment)), so I'm not sure how to proceed here.

@whyrusleeping WDYT? (This is my most blocking issue at the moment.)

This looks right to me. Good catch!

On the TRUNC_HASH, I think its fine to change the hash here as this is clearly an erroneous object. We should probably also test that writing to a file, then truncating it back to the previous length results in the same object (unless there are reasons why this shouldnt happen)

Great, do you know how was TRUNC_HASH generated?

Yes, will add that.

Extract the original `FSNode` passed inside the `ipld.Node` argument and modify

not preserving some of the features of the original one.

Change `TRUNC_HASH` values in `sharness` that were created with the bug to the
correct values.

Fixed TRUNC_HASH values and rebased to the merged PR #5253 fix so TestDagTruncateSameSize won't panic now.

Tests are passing now (minus Jenkins..) so @whyrusleeping I think this is RFM now.
