The format of Authorization header of S3 API is below:

	Authorization: LOW Accesskey:Secret

And accesskey of Nova is below:

	AccessKey = User:Project

So, Authorization header of Swift3 forms:

	Authorization: LOW User:Project:secret

swauth_novaldap presumed that projects of Nova are accounts of Swift, so
that header is User:Account:secret. So, we have to change that code
from account,user,_junk to user,account,_junk.
