Sure, the size is retrievable with libssh2 using the same function call that
we'd get the "filetime" with.

We already do this "fake HTTP" style output if you ask for info for a specific
FTP file with NOBODY set, and it might make sense (and not be very hard) to
offer the same style output for SFTP as well.
