make upload & var operate the same way

The upload command works like this:

  upload get XYZ
                 channel        # returns channel
                 save (name)    # returns name?
                 data           # returns data

  with the third one reporting an error if this hasn't been enabled, or
  the first two if it has.

  upload info XYZ

                  exists
                  size
                  type
                  filename

  upload names

  gets all the upload names.

The var command works like this:

   var get foo
   var list foo
   var names
   var number
   var all

Any reason not to make them work more alike?

It's always better to have consistent (similar) behavior of different
commands, vene if you talk about rivet and not websh ;-)
