Janie Richling 96a0e07753 Enable object body and metadata encryption
Adds encryption middlewares.

All object servers and proxy servers should be upgraded before
introducing encryption middleware.

Encryption middleware should be first introduced with the
encryption middleware disable_encryption option set to True.
Once all proxies have encryption middleware installed this
option may be set to False (the default).

Increases constraints.py:MAX_HEADER_COUNT by 4 to allow for
headers generated by encryption-related middleware.

Discoverability

Swift will by default provide clients with an interface providing details about the installation. Unless disabled (i.e expose_info=false in proxy-server-config), a GET request to /info will return configuration data in JSON format. An example response:

{"swift": {"version": "1.11.0"}, "staticweb": {}, "tempurl": {}}

This would signify to the client that swift version 1.11.0 is running and that staticweb and tempurl are available in this installation.

There may be administrator-only information available via /info. To retrieve it, one must use an HMAC-signed request, similar to TempURL. The signature may be produced like so:

swift-temp-url GET 3600 /info secret 2>/dev/null | sed s/temp_url/swiftinfo/g
