add a hint on the disk to allow for tracking fresh disk
being healed, to allow for restartable heals, and also
use this as a way to track and remove disks.
There are more pending changes where we should move
all the disk formatting logic to backend drives, this
PR doesn't deal with this refactor instead makes it
easier to track healing in the future.
in-memory caching cannot be cleanly implemented
without the access to GC which Go doesn't naturally
provide. At times we have seen that object caching
is more of an hindrance rather than a boon for
our use cases.
Removing it completely from our implementation
related to #5160 and #5182
