Samuel Merritt d9f2a76973 Local write affinity for object PUT requests.
The proxy can now be configured to prefer local object servers for PUT
requests, where "local" is governed by the "write_affinity". The
"write_affinity_node_count" setting controls how many local object
servers to try before giving up and going on to remote ones.

I chose to simply re-order the object servers instead of filtering out
nonlocal ones so that, if all of the local ones are down, clients can
still get successful responses (just slower).

The goal is to trade availability for throughput. By writing to local
object servers across fast LAN links, clients get better throughput
than if the object servers were far away over slow WAN links. The
downside, of course, is that data availability (not durability) may
suffer when drives fail.

The default configuration has no write affinity in it, so the default
behavior is unchanged.

Added some words about these settings to the admin guide.
