object-storage: Refactor code to reduce Swift diffs carried

The upstream Swift code base contains the following commit which adds the
ability to modify constraint values using the swift.conf file:

 https://github.com/openstack/swift/commit/a2ac5efaa64f57fbbe059066c6c4636dfd0715c2

These changes rely on the above commit being back-ported to Swift 1.4.8 (see
https://github.com/portante/swift/commit/fc2421b04022ac6bbe9d5014362ec5f99f94c5e0).

As a result, a good number of differences we carry can be removed, since the
provided swift.conf file now contains the values we need.

Along with these changes, we add middleware to get constraints loaded properly
(via monkey patching) until subclassing is implemented in a future commit. We
further simplify the diffs to a minimal set by storing the timestamp in file
system metadata and moving new files to the plugins/middleware directory.

Note that the original "gluster" middleware was in the swift.diff file, and
has been renamed to "glusterfs" and moved to the new plugins/middleware
directory. The "gluster" middleware is now a temporary way to get the
constraints properly loaded (both of these middleware pieces should disappear
in future commits when we refactor further to subclass the Swift objects
instead of patching them).
