This commit fixes a potential security issue, whereby a full-access
token to the server would be available in the GET URL of a download
request. This fixes that issue by introducing short-expiry tokens, which
are only valid for one minute, and are regenerated for every download
request.
This commit specifically introduces the short-lived tokens, adds tests
for the tokens, adds an RPC call for generating a token given a
full-access token, updates the browser to use the new tokens for
requests where the token is passed as a GET parameter, and adds some
tests with the new temporary tokens.

Sending envVars along with access and secret
exposes the entire minio server's sensitive
information. This will be an unexpected
situation for all users.
If at all we need to look for things like if
credentials are set through env, we should
only have access to only this information
not the entire set of system envs.
