Change Object folders to use prefix/delimiter
Swift originally documented a method for implementing psuedo-hierarchical folders inside containers by using a directory marker object. The currently published 1.0 API removes this method in favor of a combination of prefix and delimiter arguments in the query string.

Whiteboard
Making this change will remove the directory objects from the output of the Swift CLI. Since the CLI never creates these objects users who use both get confused at the presence of objects they did not create. Also, removing the objects removes the sub-tree from Horizon's display making any objects that formerly appeared 'under' that folder invisible.
