Introduces the concept of a "versioning mode" for versioned_writes. When deleting, check whether any previous versions exist in the versions container. If none is found, the object is deleted. If the most-recent version in the versions container is not a delete marker, it is copied into the versioned container (overwriting the current version if one exists) and then deleted from the versions container. This preserves the previous behavior. If the most-recent version in the versions container is a delete marker and a current version exists in the versioned container, the current version is deleted. If the most-recent version in the versions container is a delete marker and no current version exists in the versioned container, we copy the next-most-recent version from the versions container into the versioned container (assuming it exists and is not a delete marker) and delete both the most-recent version (i.e., the delete marker) and the just-copied next-most-recent version from the versions container. With this mode, DELETEs to versioned containers "undo" operations on containers. Previously this was limited to undoing PUTs, but now it will also undo DELETEs performed while in "history" mode.
Thiago, Please mark the fixed-in-build in which this is built and set to MODIFIED to ship to QE. Thanks, Elise
