List a directory in a standardized format by using MLSD command

*facts* is a list of strings representing the type of information desired
- (e.g. *["type", "size", "perm"]*). Return a generator object yielding a
- tuple of two elements for every file found in path. First element is the
- file name, the second one is a dictionary including a variable number of
- "facts" depending on the server and whether *facts* argument has been
- provided.
