swift-object-info should report all object metadata

[Alistair Coles]

swift-object-info can currently be pointed at a *file* and will report info from that file. It would be really useful to be able to optionally point the tool at a directory and have the tool open the on-disk file set to compose any .meta with .data files, printing the aggregate as would be included with an object GET.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425679 already requests handling .meta and .ts files, this request build on that.

Would the simple change like this be enough? Or am I misunderstanding the request?

Sorry, now properly formatted...

Jiri, can you please propose this as a patch to Swift via gerrit (including this bug in the commit message)? That way the community can review it and offer feedback.
