The `message-id` MUST be the following 20 byte value computed from the message:
* If `message.data` has a valid snappy decompression, set `message-id` to the first 20 bytes of the `SHA256` hash of
the concatenation of `MESSAGE_DOMAIN_VALID_SNAPPY` with the snappy decompressed message data and the topic name,
i.e. `SHA256(MESSAGE_DOMAIN_VALID_SNAPPY + snappy_decompress(message.data) + message.topic)[:20]`.

* Otherwise, set `message-id` to the first 20 bytes of the `SHA256` hash of
the concatenation of `MESSAGE_DOMAIN_INVALID_SNAPPY` with the raw message data and the topic name,
i.e. `SHA256(MESSAGE_DOMAIN_INVALID_SNAPPY + message.data + message.topic)[:20]`.

The new topics along with the type of the `data` field of a gossipsub message are given in this table:
