b1eda4aef8 Allow sending object metadata after data
This lets the proxy server send object metadata to the object server
after the object data. This is necessary for EC, as it allows us to
compute the etag of the object in the proxy server and still store it
with the object.

The wire format is a multipart MIME document. For sanity during a
rolling upgrade, the multipart MIME document is only sent to the
object server if it indicates, via 100 Continue header, that it knows
how to consume it.

Example 1 (new proxy, new obj server):

   proxy: PUT /p/a/c/o
          X-Backend-Obj-Metadata-Footer: yes

     obj: 100 Continue
        X-Obj-Metadata-Footer: yes

   proxy: --MIMEmimeMIMEmime...

Example2: (new proxy, old obj server)

   proxy: PUT /p/a/c/o
          X-Backend-Obj-Metadata-Footer: yes

     obj: 100 Continue

   proxy: <obj body>

4286f36a60 Enable object system metadata on PUTs
This patch takes a first step towards support
for object system metadata by enabling headers
in the x-object-sysmeta- namespace to be
persisted when objects are PUT. This should be
useful for other pending patches such as on
demand migration and server side encryption
(https://review.openstack.org/#/c/64430/ and
https://review.openstack.org/#/c/76578/1).

The x-object-sysmeta- namespace is already
reserved/protected by the gatekeeper and
passed through the proxy. This patch modifies
the object server to persist these headers
alongside user metadata when an object is
PUT.

This patch will preserve existing object
system metadata and ignore any new system
metadata when handling object POSTs,
including POST-as-copy operations. Support
for modification of object system metadata
with a POST request requires further work
as discussed in the blueprint.

This patch will preserve existing object
system metadata and update it with new
system metadata when copying an object.

A new probe test is added which makes use of
the BrainSplitter class that has been moved
from test_container_merge_policy_index.py to
a new module brain.py.

6164fa246d Generic means for persisting system metadata.
Middleware or core features may need to store metadata
against accounts or containers. This patch adds a
generic mechanism for system metadata to be persisted
in backend databases, without polluting the user
metadata namespace, by using the reserved header
namespace x-<server_type>-sysmeta-*.

Modifications are firstly that backend servers persist
system metadata headers alongside user metadata and
other system state.

For accounts and containers, system metadata in PUT
and POST requests is treated in a similar way to user
metadata. System metadata is not yet supported for
object requests.

Secondly, changes in the proxy controllers ensure that
headers in the system metadata namespace will pass through
in requests to backend servers.

Thirdly, system metadata returned from backend servers
in GET or HEAD responses is added to the cached info
dict, which middleware can access.

Finally, a gatekeeper middleware module is provided
which filters all system metadata headers from requests
and responses by removing headers with names starting
x-account-sysmeta-, x-container-sysmeta-. The gatekeeper
also removes headers starting x-object-sysmeta- in
anticipation of future support for system metadata being
set for objects. This prevents clients from writing or
reading system metadata.

The required_filters list in swift/proxy/server.py is
modified to include the gatekeeper middleware so that
if the gatekeeper has not been configured in the
pipeline then it will be automatically inserted close
to the start of the pipeline.
