[Ftpsync] Making ftpsync more rsync like

I would like options for ftpsync to be more similar to rsync. Some of
the options for ftpsync has the same functionality as a corresponding
option in rsync. To make it easier for people to go from rsync to
ftpsync it will be handy if similar options are called the same.

Default for UNIX commands is no output if everything works. Instead of
having -q -v -d options I propose using multiple -v:

  -q: (none)
  (none): -v/--verbose
  -v: -v -v/--verbose --verbose
  -d: -v -v -v/--verbose --verbose --verbose

For deletion I propose:

  -n: (none)
  (none): --delete

For ignoring timestamps I propose:

  -s: --size-only

For a run that only says what is done:

  -i: -n/--dry-run

For ignoring files:

  ignoremask=: --exclude

I am not sure why -g and -p are needed. If there are no reasons to
keep these I think we should mark those as obsolete and remove them in
a release a year from now.

Also I need examples where it is preferable to use ftpserver=,
ftpdir=, ftpuser=, ftppasswd= over using the FTPURL. If there are no
reasons to keep those, I also suggest obsoleting those and remove them
in a release a year from now.
