Consideration for a bulk-upload (file) command

[joshisa]

Proposed Command: put-many-objects
Rationale: Uploading a group of files that become their own object can be tedious. From a bandwidth efficiency standpoint, being able to upload a single large compressed binary and then having Openstack Swift decompress it server-side seems beneficial.
Background: Leverages the archive-auto-extract functionality already present in OpenStack Swift. See this StackOverflow entry for more info.
Known Constraints:

• You must use the tar utility to create the tar archive file.
• You can upload regular files but you cannot upload other items (for example, empty directories or symbolic links).
• You must UTF-8-encode the member names.
