Description

I can't find the issue(s) where we discussed this but there's been a proposal on the table for a while that we represent the multicodec table as JSON for easier consumption and more flexibility. I'd like to switch it so that the CSV is generated from the JSON and people contribute to the JSON. A JSON table would let us add more items, like https://github.com/multiformats/multicodec/issues/297, and longer descriptions, and overall much more flexibility for entries and ease of downstream consumption.

This needs a PR to propose the format. Does it need to be line-delimited JSON? Can it be fully pretty-printed? What does linting look like? What does CSV generation look like?

Anyone want to give this a go?
