    This is a very low-level method.  DO NOT USE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING

    ** Consistency **

    @version, if given, is the version to include in the data.
    If not given, then 1 will be used if no version exists locally, or the local version will be auto-incremented from the local version.
    Readers will only accept the version if it is "recent" (i.e. it falls into the given version range, or it is fresher than the last-seen version).

    ** Durability **

    Replication is all-or-nothing with respect to explicitly-listed storage drivers.  Each storage driver in storage_drivers must succeed.
    If any of them fail, then put_mutable fails.  All other storage drivers configured in the config file but not listed in storage_drivers
    will be attempted, but failures will be ignored.

    Notes on usage:
    * if storage_drivers is None, each storage driver under `storage_drivers_required_write=` will be required.
    * if storage_drivers is not None, then each storage driver in storage_drivers *must* succeed
    * If data_signature is not None, it must be the signature over the serialized payload form of data_payload
