account reaper need a configurable time delay added

this is related to https://bugs.launchpad.net/swift/+bug/665383

While I would rather use minutes it looks like seconds would be less confusing for operations.

Several things have been discussed related to this:

An account should only be "reaped" if the put_timestamp < delete_timestamp
Remove the status field from the account_stats table in the account db
    Need to look at the account_stats script to make sure it works on put_timestamp > delete_timestamp instead of the status field

Verify the deleted_timestamp is replicated in the account-replicator

create a utility that will live in the bin director to "undelete" an account by sending a PUT to an account server directly. This update the put_timestamp.

That all looks really good, thanks again for capturing all that stuff.

The only other thing I mentioned was this other open bug for the account-reaper:

It looks like this has already been done.

There is a 'delay_reaping' config value for the account reaper.

So, I'm closing this one.
