 trie similar to NEAR SocialDB. In addition to this, arbitrary users can attest to data that map via the package name and the account ID of the author. To save on gas, attestors who
 attempt to make claims against packages *not* already in the registry will revert. Furthermore `content_type` can be specified for releases to allow consumers different methods of resolution once the content is retrieved.
