did:pkarr - PKARR based Decentralized Identifiers

did:pkarr are DIDs that are based on Public Key Addressable Resource Records.

Why use did:pkarr over other alternatives?

Unlike did:key, it is mutable and has a richer set of data it can contain.
Unlike did:web, it is fully decentralized.

Example of a did:pkarr

did:pkarr:47pjoycnsrfmxikm95jh13y88e8qnhzu5kungjpxyepgt7a8krpy

The basic format is:

did: - all Decentralized Identifiers start with this
pkarr: - Indicates which type of DID this is - in our case, did:pkarr.
47pjoycnsrfmxikm95jh13y88e8qnhzu5kungjpxyepgt7a8krpy - the public key.

How does it work?

Parse the pubkey out of the did:pkarr:<public-key>.
Use pkarr to look up the associated (signed) DNS TXT record.
Convert that TXT record into a DID Document.
