listObjects: ListObjects should have idempotent behavior.

listObjects was returning inconsistent results, i.e missing
entries during recursive and non-recursive listing. This led
to 'mc mirror' copying contents repeatedly consisdering
these files to be missing on the destination.

This patch addresses this problem - fixes #1056
