Stop async listing if we have not heard back from the client for 3 minutes.
This will stop spending resources on async listings when they are unlikely to get used.
If the client returns a new listing will be started on the second request.
Stop saving cache metadata to disk. It is cleared on restarts anyway. Removes all
load/save functionality
Add `MINIO_API_EXTEND_LIST_CACHE_LIFE` that will extend
the life of generated caches for a while.
This changes caches to remain valid until no updates have been
received for the specified time plus a fixed margin.
This also changes the caches from being invalidated when the *first*
set finishes until the *last* set has finished plus the specified time
has passed.

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* Caches are cleaned up when out of date or superseded by a more recent one.
