[MERGE] file-object based container format

Hi all,

I've nearly got the new merge directive and bundle formats ready to
merge.  But they depend on the container format.

The previous container format submission contained a really inefficient
implementation of file.readline that was built on file.read.  Andrew and
I agree that the ultimate best API would be a push-based one.  But
Andrew hasn't been able to work on that, so we've agreed to compromise
by having containers take file-like objects instead of file.read functions.
