Currently, the swiftclient upload command passes a custom metadata
header for each object (called object-meta-mtime), whose value is
the current UNIX timestamp. When downloading such an object with the
swiftclient, the mtime header is parsed and passed as the atime and
mtime for the newly created file.
There are use-cases where this is not desired, for example when using
tmp or scratch directories in which files older than a specific date
are deleted. This commit provides a boolean option for ignoring the
mtime header.

There are no examples for copy and delete command. For beginners,
they may not use both commands. Therefore, I add examples, then
beginners are able to understand how to use both commands.

Swift has commands including 'swift tempurl' and 'swift auth',
but it has no 'swift tempurl' and 'swift auth' in doc/source/cli.rst.
Therefore, I add them and their examples.

Implement copy object method in swiftclient Connection, Service and CLI.
Although COPY functionality can be accomplished with 'X-Copy-From'
header in PUT request, using copy is more convenient especially when
using copy for updating object metadata non-destructively.

As a result of the Hackathon we have produced a new
documentation structure for the python-swiftclient.
This patch introduces the new structure and adds the
required content.
The intention is to document the CLI, the SwiftService
and Connection API. Importantly, we also provide
guidance on important considerations when using a swift
object store, such as which aspect of the python-swiftclient
to use for various use cases, common authentication patterns
and some useful examples.
