In existing functionality we simply return a generic
error such as "MalformedPolicy" which indicates just
a generic string "invalid resource" which is not very
meaningful when there might be multiple types of errors
during policy parsing. This PR ensures that we send
these errors back to client to indicate the actual
error, brings in two concrete types such as
- iampolicy.Error
- policy.Error
Refer #8202
This PR fixes the issue where we might allow policy changes
for temporary credentials out of band, this situation allows
privilege escalation for those temporary credentials. We
should disallow any external actions on temporary creds
as a practice and we should clearly differentiate which
are static and which are temporary credentials.

This PR refactors object layer handling such
that upon failure in sub-system initialization
server reaches a stage of safe-mode operation
wherein only certain API operations are enabled
and available.
This allows for fixing many scenarios such as
- incorrect configuration in vault, etcd,
notification targets
- missing files, incomplete config migrations
unable to read encrypted content etc
- any other issues related to notification,
policies, lifecycle etc
