For each file/input, returns whether it is a release, record package, or release package.

This can also return whether the input file is line-delimited JSON, a JSON array or a JSON object.

+1 this would be really useful and simplify our conversations with OCDS users about how to determine the structure of the JSON file they are working with

This command would take a filename as input, rather than read from stdin, since a user typically wants to know the format of a file (not the formats of many items in a stream).
