Request: Add `dropbox.py` sharelink option

[coatless]

Could you please add to dbxcli a way to obtain the share link of a given file. e.g.

dbxcli sharelink FILE

This was previously in the headless dropbox cli given as dropbox.py. I would like to switch over from using dropbox.py to dbxcli, but my main usage case is a way for the CLI to generate sharing links for files. c.f. dropcli R package

I would love to see this too. Is there a way to make this happen? If you could point me in the right direction, I might take a look at it myself.

@banool I believe the sharelink code can be found in:

https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/dropbox.py

Looks like the code for this can be found here:

@coatless just to make sure I understand correct, you want an option in dbxcli to obtain the link you can use to share a file or a folder. Is that right?

This is actually pretty easy to do, you can even work from an existing PR:
#41
#40

LMK if you want to take a stab. Otherwise I'll try to implement sometime in the next week.

Awesome @diwakergupta, thanks for looking into this! Much easier for you than for me to learn the codebase and try it.

I've put together a solution for this in #89.
