Description
We have methods in the shell for conveniently setting and deleting iterators, but no convenience methods for getting a list of iterators. We should provide one in the shell.

As I begin to investigate this, it appears it would be significantly easier if tableOperations().listIterators(tableName) returned a Map<String,EnumSet<IteratorScope>> mapping iterator names to scopes. This is a new method in 1.4 and currently returns a Set<String> of iterator names, which is not very useful if you want to know for which scopes an iterator is configured. The other iterator methods (attach, remove, get) all include scopes. I might advocate changing this in 1.4 to make the method more useful and so we don't have to change it later.

+1 for changing it
