Add a symbolic link ("symlink") object support to Swift. This
object will reference another object. GET and HEAD
requests for a symlink object will operate on the referenced object.
DELETE and PUT requests for a symlink object will operate on the
symlink object, not the referenced object, and will delete or
overwrite it, respectively.
POST requests are *not* forwarded to the referenced object and should
be sent directly. POST requests sent to a symlink object will
result in a 307 Error.
Historical information on symlink design can be found here:
