Description

Swift only allows appending to user metadata, different from other object stores, such that the following integration test fails:

Failed tests: 
  CloudFilesUSBlobIntegrationLiveTest>BaseBlobIntegrationTest.testCopyBlobReplaceMetadata:812->BaseBlobIntegrationTest.checkUserMetadata:606 
Expecting:
 <{"key2"="value2", "key3"="value3", "key1"="value1", "key4"="value4"}>
to be equal to:
 <{"key3"="value3", "key4"="value4"}>
but was not.

Unfortunately the provider API does not appear to provide a way to set the combination of content and user metadata to fix this up after the fact.
