 Title: #535: add whoami command
Action: opened

PR body:
"""
`ipa whoami` command allows to query details about currently
authenticated identity. The command returns following information:

  * object class name
  * function to call to get actual details about the object
  * arguments to pass to the function
  * options to pass to the function

There are five types of objects that could bind to IPA using their
credentials. `ipa whoami` call expects one of the following:

  * users
  * staged users
  * hosts
  * Kerberos services
  * ID user override from the default trust view

The latter category of objects is automatically mapped by SASL GSSAPI
mapping rule in 389-ds for users from trusted Active Directory forests.

The command is expected to be used by Web UI to define proper view for
the authenticated identity.

Below is an example of how communication looks like for an Active
Directory user which has ID override in 'Default Trust View'.
