Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

As a user of IPFS, it's difficult to visualize if files are cached on the gateway you're connected to vs if the files need to be retrieved from the network.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
An indicator to show if a CID is cached on the current gateway.

Example (horrible) mock up:

![pin](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/100110/146022004-602b536f-5ca2-4181-b863-c917908d39c7.png)

The first three entries are cached on the gateway, the final one would require pulling from other IPFS nodes. Three indicators may be needed:

* Fully cached locally
* Partially cached locally
* Not cached locally
