    Fix swiftdir option and usage of storage policy aliases

    If swift-recon/swift-get-nodes/swift-object-info is used with the
    swiftdir option they will read rings from the given directory; however
    they are still using /etc/swift/swift.conf to find the policies on the
    current node.

    This makes it impossible to maintain a local swift.conf copy (if you
    don't have write access to /etc/swift) or check multiple clusters from
    the same node.

    Until now swift-recon was also not usable with storage policy aliases,
    this patch fixes this as well.
