Title: add --files-from=FILE to allow transfer of select files only

This solves the change of behavior introduced by processing
excludes/includes during os.walk(), where previously:

s3cmd sync --exclude='*' --include='*.gpg'

would walk the whole tree and transfer only the files named *.gpg.

Since the change to os.walk(), the exclude '*' matches everything, and
nothing is transferred.

This patch introduces --files-from=FILE to match rsync behaviour,
where the list of files to transfer (local to remote) is taken not
from an os.walk(), but from the explicit list in FILE.

The equivalent for remote to local, and remote to remote, is not yet
implemented.
