Duplicity 0.6.23 with infrequent access storage class

We were running happily on 0.6.23 and wanted to use the infrequent storage class from AWS. After trying 0.7.10, we found that memory consumption was higher than in 0.6.23. Hence we backported the infrequent access storage class (it's only 10 lines of code).
