Rewrite object versioning as middleware to simplify the PUT method
in the object controller.
The functionality remains basically the
same with the only major difference being the ability to now
version slo manifest files. dlo manifests are still not
supported as part of this patch.

We can set x-versions-location empty to remove this header in API, but
to keep consistent, we should allow x-remove-versions-location too. The
usage is post "x-remove-versions-locaion: x", just like ACL remove
headers.

Object versioning in swift is implemented by setting a flag on the container
to tell swift to version all objects in the container. The flag is the
``X-Versions-Location`` header on the container, and its value is the
container where the versions are stored.
When data is ``PUT`` into a versioned container (a container with the
versioning flag turned on), the existing data in the file is redirected to a
new object and the data in the ``PUT`` request is saved as the data for the
versioned object. The new object name (for the previous version) is
``<versions_container>/<object_name>/<timestamp>``, where the timestamp is
generated by converting the ``Last-Modified`` header value of the current
version to a unix timestamp.
A ``GET`` to a versioned object will return the current version of the object
without having to do any request redirects or metadata lookups.
