Add erasure code policy support to swift

This patch is version 1 (not tested) of adding erasure code support
to swift. It adds the following:

  - Add policy_type, ec_type, ec_num_data_fragments,
    ec_num_parity_fragments and ec_object_segment_size to the
    policy definition.

  - Update the ring.contents.j2 to set replica count for the ring
    to ec_num_parity_fragments + ec_object_segment_size, if using
    the erasure code policy_type.

  - Adds extra EC options to swift.conf for EC policies.

I may have missed something and again this hasn't been tested yet.

NOTE: EC in Swift is strictly _BETA_ and shouldn't be run in
      production, however, we do need to test it!
