store the cache in-memory instead of disks to avoid large
write amplifications for list heavy workloads, store in
memory instead and let it auto expire.
To avoid large delays in metacache cleanup, use rename
instead of recursive delete calls, renames are cheaper
move the content to minioMetaTmpBucket and then cleanup
this folder once in 24hrs instead.
If the new cache can replace an existing one, we should
let it replace since that is currently being saved anyways,
this avoids pile up of 1000's of metacache entires for
same listing calls that are not necessary to be stored
on disk.
- lock maintenance loop was incorrectly sleeping
as well as using ticker badly, leading to
extra expiration routines getting triggered
that could flood the network.
- multipart upload cleanup should be based on
timer instead of ticker, to ensure that long
running jobs don't get triggered twice.
- make sure to get right lockers for object name
If a scanning server shuts down unexpectedly we may have "successful" caches that are incomplete on a set.
In this case mark the cache with an error so it will no longer be handed out.
Add trashcan that keeps recently updated lists after bucket deletion.
All caches were deleted once a bucket was deleted, so caches still running would report errors. Now they are canceled.
Fix `.minio.sys` not being transient.
* Fix caches having EOF marked as a failure.
* Simplify cache updates.
* Provide context for checkMetacacheState failures.
* Log 499 when the client disconnects.

Gist of improvements:
* Cross-server caching and listing will use the same data across servers and requests.
* Lists can be arbitrarily resumed at a constant speed.
* Metadata for all files scanned is stored for streaming retrieval.
* The existing bloom filters controlled by the crawler is used for validating caches.
* Concurrent requests for the same data (or parts of it) will not spawn additional walkers.
* Listing a subdirectory of an existing recursive cache will use the cache.
* All listing operations are fully streamable so the number of objects in a bucket no
longer dictates the amount of memory.
* Listings can be handled by any server within the cluster.
* Caches are cleaned up when out of date or superseded by a more recent one.
