Undocumented key.info

[AlbertoElias]

There's a useful function implemented in js-ipfs ipfs.key.info which isn't documented: https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs/blob/master/src/core/components/key.js#L14

Hi @AlbertoElias: Can I work on the ticket?

There's no consensus on this function existing. It does not exist in the go-ipfs implementation and whilst it is implemented in core for JS IPFS, there's no CLI method of calling it and it is not available from the HTTP API either - nor does https://github.com/ipfs/js-ipfs-http-client implement it.

So unfortunately this isn't simply a case of documenting an existing function.

I suggest using key.list and find the key by name from the array that is returned.
