When calculating signatures empty part ETags were not discarded, leading
to a different signature compared to freshly created ones.
This would mean that after a heal signature of the healed metadata would be
different. Fixing the calculation of signature will make these consistent.
Furthermore when inconsistent entries, with zero version ID, with the same
mod times but different signatures, the one with the lowest signature would
be picked for quorum check. Since this is 50/50, we fall back to a simple
quorum count on all signatures.
Each of these fixes by themselves will lead to quorum. Tests were added
for regressions and expected outcomes.
