Description

Javadocs for `createContainerInLocation` state (from http://javadocs.jclouds.cloudbees.net/org/jclouds/blobstore/BlobStore.html):

"Returns: true if the container was created, false if it already existed."

The following simple test snippet verifies this:

```
assertThat(blobStore.createContainerInLocation(
/location=/ null, name)).isTrue();
assertTrue(blobStore.containerExists(name));
assertThat(blobStore.createContainerInLocation(
/location=/ null, name)).isFalse();
```

I ran the test above for a variety of blobstores, and the test fails for pretty much everyblobstore including aws-s3, cloudfiles, hpcloud, azureblob, atmos etc. In my tests, it does pass when using generic S3 endpoints like with Google cloud storage.
