With large scale data transfers, the current dht content routing system takes wayyyy too much bandwidth and time. We should add an option to the config that constructs bitswap in offline mode so that adds and transfers can avoid providing automatically. Users of this feature can choose to manually provide via ipfs dht provide

I really want this for some of my tests, i'm transferring terabytes of data and providers are using an absurd amount of my upload.
