object: checkETag compares quoted ETags properly (#1997)

Previously, checkETag didn't handle ETags with leading and trailing
double quotes. e.g "abcdef1234" == "\"abcdef1234\"" would return false.
Now, checkETag function canonicalizes the ETags passed as arguments by
removing one leading/trailing double quote.
