Tim Burke c7283be4fe Add "history" mode to versioned_writes middleware
This change introduces the concept of a "versioning mode" for
versioned_writes. The following modes are supported:

 * stack

    When deleting, check whether any previous versions exist in the
    versions container. If none is found, the object is deleted. If the
    most-recent version in the versions container is not a delete
    marker, it is copied into the versioned container (overwriting the
    current version if one exists) and then deleted from the versions
    container. This preserves the previous behavior.

    If the most-recent version in the versions container is a delete
    marker and a current version exists in the versioned container, the
    current version is deleted. If the most-recent version in the
    versions container is a delete marker and no current version exists
    in the versioned container, we copy the next-most-recent version
    from the versions container into the versioned container (assuming
    it exists and is not a delete marker) and delete both the
    most-recent version (i.e., the delete marker) and the just-copied
    next-most-recent version from the versions container.

    With this mode, DELETEs to versioned containers "undo" operations
    on containers. Previously this was limited to undoing PUTs, but now
    it will also undo DELETEs performed while in "history" mode.

 * history

    When deleting, check whether a current version exists in the
    versioned container. If one is found, it is copied to the versions
    container. Then an empty "delete marker" object is also put into the
    versions container; this records when the object was deleted.
    Finally, the original current version is deleted from the versioned
    container. As a result, subsequent GETs or HEADs will return a 404,
    and container listings for the versioned container do not include
    the object.

    With this mode, DELETEs to versioned containers behave like DELETEs
    to other containers, but with a history of what has happened.

Clients may specify (via a new X-Versions-Mode header) which mode a
container should use. By default, the existing "stack" mode is used.

Upgrade consideration:
======================

Clients should not use the "history" mode until all proxies in the
cluster have been upgraded. Attempting to use the "history" mode during
a rolling upgrade may result in some requests being served by proxies
running old code (which necessarily uses the "stack" mode), leading to
data loss.

==========
Containers
==========
Lists objects in a container. Creates, shows details for, and
deletes containers. Creates, updates, shows, and deletes container
metadata.
Show container details and list objects
=======================================
.. rest_method:: GET /v1/{account}/{container}
Shows details for a container and lists objects, sorted by name, in the container.
Specify query parameters in the request to filter the list and
return a subset of object names. Omit query parameters to return
the complete list of object names that are stored in the container,
up to 10,000 names. The 10,000 maximum value is configurable. To
view the value for the cluster, issue a GET ``/info`` request.
Example requests and responses:
- ``OK (200)``. Success. The response body lists the objects.
- ``No Content (204)``. Success. The response body shows no objects.
Either the container has no objects or you are paging through a
long list of names by using the ``marker``, ``limit``, or
``end_marker`` query parameter and you have reached the end of
the list.
If the container does not exist, the call returns the ``Not Found
(404)`` response code.
The operation returns the ``Range Not Satisfiable (416)`` response
code for any ranged GET requests that specify more than:
- Fifty ranges.
- Three overlapping ranges.
- Eight non-increasing ranges.
Normal response codes: 200
Error response codes:416,404,204,

Create container
================
.. rest_method:: PUT /v1/{account}/{container}
Creates a container.
You do not need to check whether a container already exists before
issuing a PUT operation because the operation is idempotent: It
creates a container or updates an existing container, as
appropriate.
Example requests and responses:
- Create a container with no metadata:
::
curl -i $publicURL/steven -X PUT -H "Content-Length: 0" -H "X-Auth-Token: $token"
::
HTTP/1.1 201 Created

Create, update, or delete container metadata
============================================
.. rest_method:: POST /v1/{account}/{container}
Creates, updates, or deletes custom metadata for a container.
To create, update, or delete a custom metadata item, use the ``X
-Container-Meta-{name}`` header, where ``{name}`` is the name of
the metadata item.
Subsequent requests for the same key and value pair overwrite the
previous value.
To delete container metadata, send an empty value for that header,
such as for the ``X-Container-Meta-Book`` header. If the tool you
use to communicate with Object Storage, such as an older version of
cURL, does not support empty headers, send the ``X-Remove-
Container-Meta-{name}`` header with an arbitrary value. For
example, ``X-Remove-Container-Meta-Book: x``. The operation ignores
the arbitrary value.
If the container already has other custom metadata items, a request
to create, update, or delete metadata does not affect those items.
Example requests and responses:
- Create container metadata:
::
curl -i $publicURL/marktwain -X POST -H "X-Auth-Token: $token" -H "X-Container-Meta-Author: MarkTwain" -H "X-Container-Meta-Web-Directory-Type: text/directory" -H "X-Container-Meta-Century: Nineteenth"
