Brief walk-through over ONTAP "native" and multi-protocol S3 services

tldr;
- ONTAP "native" S3 has more complete AWS S3 API support, but is S3-only
- ONTAP "multiprotocol" S3 is S3 service that usually runs on NFS shares; it lets you combine NFS uploads/downloads with S3 PUTs/GETs, but its S3 API support is more limited because it's impossible to perfectly translate the differences between protocols

Users could run both, for different use cases and applications. Applications that use complex S3 API methods are less likely to work well on multi-protocol buckets.
