Investigate mitigation of late publishing attacks #26

Description

@m0ar

Sidetree implementations are susceptible to late publishing attacks, which traditionally isn't a big issue if the only vector is changing the user's own keys. But here, having an old, anchored, and unpublished fork acts as a publish undo button.

Is there a way for the ceramic client to save old forks, and can a new client request full fork history from the network? Can we build some other transparent index allowing deterministic resolution in these cases?
