    Remove utf-8 in metadata and http header names

    RFC2616 implicitly allows transferring utf-8 in
    headers (vals) but not in header names (keys)

    Swift functional tests includes testing for utf-8
    header names (keys) which is non aligned with the standard.
    This seem to be the case when testing file metadata.
    File metadata keys are than transferred as part of
    the http header keys (header names) as
          X-Object-Meta-<metadata_key>=metadata_name.

    As a result metadata_keys in swift must be composed from
    a subset of ASCII characters - alpha numerics,
    some punctuation, not a lot else* and cannot be utf-8.
