By default the webtorrent command line program will stream the largest file in a torrent with multiple files. The assumption was that the largest file is probably what the user wants to watch. But this is not always the case.

You can use the --list flag to get a list of files in the torrent. It makes sense to be able to stream just a single file. Let's add an --index option that lets you pick the file to stream.
