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.
When searching the caches don't copy the ids, instead inline the loop.
```
Benchmark_bucketMetacache_findCache-32 19200 63490 ns/op 8303 B/op 5 allocs/op
Benchmark_bucketMetacache_findCache-32 20338 58609 ns/op 111 B/op 4 allocs/op
```
Add a reasonable, but still the simplistic benchmark.
Bonus - make nicer zero alloc logging
Do listings with prefix filter when bloom filter is dirty.
This will forward the prefix filter to the lister which will make it
only scan the folders/objects with the specified prefix.
If we have a clean bloom filter we try to build a more generally
useful cache so in that case, we will list all objects/folders.
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.
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.
