Public Link for Swift Backend

The associated forum post URL from https://forum.rclone.org

I was looking around to check if a PublicLink functionality is given and found the following. https://forum.rclone.org/t/failed-to-link-gcs-bucket-doesnt-support-public-links/37040 Then checked the swift backend and found out that there is no public link implementation.

What is your current rclone version (output from rclone version)?

github.com/rclone/rclone v1.66.0

What problem are you are trying to solve?

We are using the rclone api to integrate it in our golang implementations and we would like to create an URL to a file (OpenStack Swift), which can be used to download the file behind the link.

How do you think rclone should be changed to solve that?

Add the PublicLink functionality to the swift backend.

Does the swift API have a separate function for doing that or is is just rclone needs to show the link it would use to download the file and rely on the user having set the bucket to public?

If the latter, this would be very easy to implement if you wanted to have a go.
