ObjectApi (Apache jclouds 1.7.3 API)

```
public interface ObjectApi
```
Provides access to the OpenStack Object Storage (Swift) Object API features.
This API is new to jclouds and hence is in Beta. That means we need people to use it and give us feedback. Based on that feedback, minor changes to the interfaces may happen. This code will replace org.jclouds.openstack.swift.SwiftClient in jclouds 2.0 and it is recommended you adopt it sooner than later.
