DASL Testing: Tier 1

[makew0rld]

Hello,

I work on DASL Testing, a project funded by IPFS to test dag-cbor libraries.

I'm filing this issue to report on "Tier 1" bugs we've discovered in go-ipld-prime. More information is available here.

Please feel free to use this issue for tracking bug fixes, asking me questions, or anything else that's helpful.

Bugs

• The smallest CBOR integer, $-(2^{64})$ or 3bffffffffffffffff is converted to 00 (zero)
• NaN, Infinity, and negative Infinity can all be encoded, but instead an error should be returned

You can view all the tests in more detail on the DASL testing website: https://hyphacoop.github.io/dasl-testing/

Also, if you have any advice on how to create a generic encoder with this library that would be appreciated. It seems encoding a variable of type any is not possible unless the schema is known in advance. This makes testing more difficult.
