This is an enhancement to the XL/distributed-XL mode. FS mode is
unaffected.
The ReadFileWithVerify storage-layer call is similar to ReadFile with
the additional functionality of performing bit-rot checking. It
accepts additional parameters for a hashing algorithm to use and the
expected hex-encoded hash string.
This patch provides significant performance improvement because:
1. combines the step of reading the file (during
erasure-decoding/reconstruction) with bit-rot verification;
2. limits the number of file-reads; and
3. avoids transferring the file over the network for bit-rot
verification.
ReadFile API is implemented as ReadFileWithVerify with empty hashing
arguments.
Credits to AB and Harsha for the algorithmic improvement.
Fixes#4236.
This PR also does backend format change to 1.0.1
from 1.0.0. Backward compatible changes are still
kept to read the 'md5Sum' key. But all new objects
will be stored with the same details under 'etag'.
Fixes#4312
Currently due to the occurrence of 6 arguments from
`gen-ldflags.go` leads to a bug where the binaries
genenerated have wrong names.
As shown below.

Brings two fixes.
- browser: Listing should append instead of replacing previous listing (#4188)
- browser: Make login form browser auto-fill compatible (#4091) fixes#4235
- browser: Selecting a new bucket appends objects list to previous bucket's list (#4252)

This change adopts the upstream fix in this regard at
https://go-review.googlesource.com/#/c/41834/ for Minio's
purposes.
Go's current os.Stat() lacks support for lot of strange
windows files such as
- share symlinks on SMB2
- symlinks on docker nanoserver
- de-duplicated files on NTFS de-duplicated volume.
This PR attempts to incorporate the change mentioned here
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20100212-00/?p=14963/
The article suggests to use Windows I/O manager to
dereference the symbolic link.
Fixes#4122
