John Dickinson a2ac5efaa6 swift constraints are now settable via config
Change previously hard-coded constants into config variables. This
allows deployers to tune their cluster more specifically based on
their needs. For example, a deployment that uses direct swift access
for public content may need to set a larger header value constraint to
allow for the full object name to be represented in the Content-
Disposition header (which browsers check to determine the name of a
downloaded object).

The new settings are set in the [swift-constraints] section of
/etc/swift/swift.conf. Comments were also added to this config file.

Cleaned up swift/common/constraints.py to pass pep8 1.3.3

Funtional tests now require constraints to be defined in /etc/test.conf or in
/etc/swift/swift.conf (in the case of running the functional tests against a
local swift cluster). To have any hope of tests passing, the defined
constraints must match the constraints on the tested cluster.

Removed a ton of "magic numbers" in both unit and functional tests.

A distributed object store that was originally developed as the basis for 
Rackspace's Cloud Files.

To build documentation run `python setup.py build_sphinx`, and then browse to
/doc/build/html/index.html.

The best place to get started is the "SAIO - Swift All In One", which will walk
you through setting up a development cluster of Swift in a VM.

For more information, visit us at http://launchpad.net/swift, or come hang out
on our IRC channel, #openstack on freenode.
