Change the approach to the directory-header control so we can set the
Argument value in the JSON response.
Stripping the trailing newline from the JSON output is annoying, but
looking over [1] I saw no easy way to add a newline to the JSON
output. And with the general framework that commands/ attempts to be,
it feels a bit funny to customize the JSON output for a command-line
program. Perhaps a workable solution is to have the command-line
client append newlines to any output that otherwise lacks them? But
that seems like a change best left to a separate series.

Folks operating at the Unix-filesystem level shouldn't care about that
level of Merkle-DAG detail. Before this commit we had:
$ ipfs unixfs ls /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox
/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox:
... several lines of empty-string names ...
And with this commit we have:
$ ipfs unixfs ls /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox
/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox
I also reworked the argument-prefixing (object.Argument) in the output
marshaller to avoid redundancies like:
$ ipfs unixfs ls /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox
/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox:
/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox
As a side-effect of this rework, we no longer have the trailing blank
line that we used to have after the final directory listing.
The new ErrImplementation is like Python's NotImplementedError, and is
mostly a way to guard against external changes that would need
associated updates in this code. For example, once we see something
that's neither a file nor a directory, we'll have to update the switch
statement to handle those objects.

This is similar to 'ipfs ls ...', but it:
* Lists file sizes that match the content size:
$ ipfs --encoding=json unixfs ls /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4
{
"Objects": [
{
"Argument": "/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4",
"Links": [
{
"Name": "busybox",
"Hash": "QmPbjmmci73roXf9VijpyQGgRJZthiQfnEetaMRGoGYV5a",
"Size": 1947624,
"Type": 2
}
]
}
]
}
$ ipfs cat /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4/busybox | wc -c
1947624
'ipfs ls ...', on the other hand, is using the Merkle-descendant
size, which also includes fanout links and the typing information
unixfs objects store in their Data:
$ ipfs --encoding=json ls /ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4
{
"Objects": [
{
"Hash": "/ipfs/QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4",
"Links": [
{
"Name": "busybox",
"Hash": "QmPbjmmci73roXf9VijpyQGgRJZthiQfnEetaMRGoGYV5a",
"Size": 1948128,
"Type": 2
}
]
}
]
}
* Has a simpler text output corresponding to POSIX ls [1]:
$ ipfs unixfs ls /ipfs/QmV2FrBtvue5ve7vxbAzKz3mTdWq8wfMNPwYd8d9KHksCF/gentoo/stage3/amd64/2015-04-02
bin
dev
etc
proc
run
sys
$ ipfs ls /ipfs/QmV2FrBtvue5ve7vxbAzKz3mTdWq8wfMNPwYd8d9KHksCF/gentoo/stage3/amd64/2015-04-02
QmSRCHG21Sbqm3EJG9aEBo4vS7Fqu86pAjqf99MyCdNxZ4 1948183 bin/

QmUNLLsPACCz1vLxQVkXqqLX5R1X345qqfHbsf67hvA3Nn 4 sys/
The minimal output allows us to start off with POSIX compliance and
then add options (which may or may not be POSIX compatible) to
adjust the output format as we get a better feel for what we need
([2] through [3]).
