sftp resume support (using offset)

Hi,

I have to copy huge files using sftp, and i thought that it would be
cool to get sftp support.

My diff has some arbitrary choices:

1) If user specifies -a (for resume), and file doesn't exist, it
creates it and starts from offset 0.

2) If destination file is bigger than source file, it aborts. The
assumption being that the user specified a wrong destination file.

3) -a to use resume and "REGET" in interactive mode.

Feedback welcomed as usual.
