Merge swift.common.client library with bin/swift CLI

Registered by Chmouel Boudjnah

We currently have swift.common.client and bin/swift duplicating a lot of code between the two, we could have the two merged and have bin/swift calling swift.common.client or at least have only the necessary function for the CLI (ie: argument parsing etc..).

Output of symiliar (from pylint) between the two file: http://sprunge.us/gBje

Can it be done in a way that /bin/swift and swift.common.client can be easily recombined for distribution? Being able to distribute the self contained /bin/swift file to users is a really nice benefit of the current setup.

Having a external client library could solve problem ie: https://github.com/chmouel/python-swiftclient
