Description
Currently the `PBNode` encodes the `Link` field before the `Data` field. [IPIP-550](https://github.com/ipfs/specs/pull/550) allows to encode it in a different order.
This is kind of a placeholder issue. There are several ways it can be implemented for this library and it depends on how upstream users use it. So if anyone needs this to be implemented, please leave a comment.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the PBNode encoding behavior described in the issue and the linked IPIP-550 proposal. The issue does not name files, tests, or a preferred implementation, so first determine how upstream users need the alternate field order supported. Done means the library can encode Data before Link in a way that matches the chosen upstream use case.
