command: ipfs id <peer.ID>

[jbenet]

We need a command to identify nodes. The command should:

• find the node (in the routing system)
• connect to it
• request some information and print it out.

> ipfs id --codec json QmUGTUcHSEHNCuMdVTmAzdG6ooybb24RU6bN2i75yXX2vm
{
  "ID": "QmUGTUcHSEHNCuMdVTmAzdG6ooybb24RU6bN2i75yXX2vm",
  "PublicKey": ".....",
  "Addresses": {
    "Swarm": "/ip4/1.2.3.4/tcp/4001",
  },
  "ProtocolVersion": "0.0.1",
  "Agent": "go-ipfs/0.1.5"
}

or something like that.

ipfs id without a peer id should default to local information.

I believe this is set.
