These are headers that will be stripped unless the WSGI environment
contains a true value for 'swift_owner'. The exact definition of a
swift_owner is up to the auth system in use, but usually indicates
administrative responsibilities.

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.

Consolidate the different ways in which info of account/container
is gathered, cached, used, updated, etc.
This refactoring increases code reuse and is a basis for later
addition of account ACLs.
Changing the get_info users is left for future.
This staged approach ensures the behaviour is unchanged.
