Put

Starting: https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/blob/1.4.2/src/riak_kv_wm_object.erl#L619
We create a new riak_object and populate the various fields with the headers, metadata supplied by the client.
Big suprise, we eventually call riak_client:put: https://github.com/basho/riak_kv/blob/1.4.2/src/riak_client.erl#L143
If/when the client returns any errors these are handled in handle_common_errors and it is nice to return human readable errors to client :)
