Update content type on 204 (not just 200) to properly handle HEAD
requests from xml/txt listings.
Add "Vary: Accept" header to listings, since otherwise, browsers may
serve the wrong content type from cache (even though we *would have*
sent the *right* type if it actually sent the request).

Reserve the namespace starting with the NULL byte for internal
use-cases. Backend services will allow path names to include the NULL
byte in urls and validate names in the reserved namespace. Database
services will filter all names starting with the NULL byte from
responses unless the request includes the header:
X-Backend-Allow-Reserved-Names: true
The proxy server will not allow path names to include the NULL byte in
urls unless a middlware has set the X-Backend-Allow-Reserved-Names
header. Middlewares can use the reserved namespace to create objects
and containers that can not be directly manipulated by clients. Any
objects and bytes created in the reserved namespace will be aggregated
to the user's account totals.
When deploying internal proxys developers and operators may configure
the gatekeeper middleware to translate the X-Allow-Reserved-Names header
to the Backend header so they can manipulate the reserved namespace
directly through the normal API.

Make some json -> (text, xml) stuff in a common module, reference that in
account/container servers so we don't break existing clients (including
out-of-date proxies), but have the proxy controllers always force a json
listing.
This simplifies operations on listings (such as the ones already happening in
decrypter, or the ones planned for symlink and sharding) by only needing to
consider a single response type.
There is a downside of larger backend requests for text/plain listings, but
it seems like a net win?
