Create document set in SharePoint Online with CSOM

It's very easy to create a document set in SharePoint Online (Office365) with csom. There is not really an API available at this moment, but by converting a folder we can achieve our goal.

If your DocumentSet content type contains other content types, you could end up with a yellow banner saying:
Content types that are available to this Document Set have been added or removed.  Update the Document Set.
If you see this banner, the content types under the new button aren't correct either. You can fix this by setting docset_LastRefresh and vti_contenttypeorder folder properties.

cheers!
