refactor vault configuration and add master-key KMS (#6488)

This refactors the vault configuration by moving the
vault-related environment variables to `environment.go`
(Other ENV should follow in the future to have a central
place for adding / handling ENV instead of magic constants
and handling across different files)

Further this commit adds master-key SSE-S3 support.
The operator can specify a SSE-S3 master key using
`MINIO_SSE_MASTER_KEY` which will be used as master key
to derive and encrypt per-object keys for SSE-S3
requests.

This commit is also a pre-condition for SSE-S3
auto-encyption support.

Fixes #6329

# KMS Quickstart Guide [![Slack](https://slack.minio.io/slack?type=svg)](https://slack.minio.io)
KMS feature allows you to use Vault to generate and manage encryption keys for use by the minio server to encrypt objects. This document explains how to configure Minio with Vault as KMS.
Minio uses a key-management-system (KMS) to support SSE-S3. If a client requests SSE-S3 or auto-encryption
is enabled the Minio server encrypts each object with an unique object key which is protected by a master key
managed by the KMS. Usually many/all object keys are protected by a single master key.
Minio supports two different KMS concepts:
- External KMS:
Minio can be configured to use an external KMS i.e. [Hashicorp Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/).
An external KMS decouples Minio as storage system from key-management. An external KMS can
be managed by a dedicated security team and allows to grant/deny access to (certain) objects
by en/disabling the corresponding master keys on demand.
However, an external KMS causes configuration and management overhead.
- Direct KMS master keys:
Minio can also be configured to directly use a master key specified by the ENV. variable `MINIO_SSE_MASTER_KEY`.
Direct master keys are useful if the storage backend is not on the same machine as the Minio server - e.g.
if network drives or Minio gateway is used - and an external KMS would cause too much management overhead.
Note: If the Minio server machine is ever compromised, then the master key must also be
treated as compromised.
## Get started
### 1. Prerequisites
Install Minio - [Minio Quickstart Guide](https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-quickstart-guide).
### 2. Configure Vault
Vault as Key Management System requires following to be configured in Vault
### 2. Setup a KMS
- [transit](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/secrets/transit/index.html) backend configured with a named encryption key-ring
- [AppRole](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle.html) based authentication with read/update policy for transit backend. In particular, read and update policy are required for the [Generate Data Key](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/transit/index.html#generate-data-key) endpoint and [Decrypt Data](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/transit/index.html#decrypt-data) endpoint.
Either use Hashicorp Vault as external KMS or specify a master key directly depending on your use case.
#### 2.1 Setup Hashicorp Vault
Here is a sample quick start for configuring vault with a transit backend and Approle with correct policy
#### 2.1 Start Vault server in dev mode
Minio requires the following Vault setup:
- The [transit backend](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/transit/index.html) configured with a named encryption key-ring
- [AppRole](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle.html) based authentication with read/update policy for transit backend. In particular, read and update policy are required for the [Generate Data Key](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/transit/index.html#generate-data-key) endpoint and [Decrypt Data](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/secret/transit/index.html#decrypt-data) endpoint.
**2.1.1 Start Vault server in dev mode**
In dev mode, Vault server runs in-memory and starts unsealed. Note that running Vault in dev mode is insecure and any data stored in the Vault is lost upon restart.
```
vault server -dev
```
#### 2.2 Set up vault transit backend and create an app role
**2.1.2 Set up vault transit backend and create an app role**
```
cat > vaultpolicy.hcl <<EOF
path "transit/datakey/plaintext/my-minio-key" {
@ -50,11 +73,9 @@ vault write -f auth/approle/role/my-role/secret-id
The AppRole ID, AppRole Secret Id, Vault endpoint and Vault key name can now be used to start minio server with Vault as KMS.
Note: If [Vault Namespaces](https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/operations/namespaces) are in use, VAULT_NAMESPACE variable needs to be set before setting approle and transit secrets engine.
### 3. Environment variables
**2.1.3 Vault Environment variables**
You'll need the Vault endpoint, AppRole ID, AppRole SecretID and encryption key-ring name defined in step 2.2
You'll need the Vault endpoint, AppRole ID, AppRole SecretID and encryption key-ring name defined in step 2.1.2

Optionally set `MINIO_SSE_VAULT_NAMESPACE` if AppRole and Transit Secrets engine have been scoped to Vault Namespace
```
export MINIO_SSE_VAULT_NAMESPACE=ns1
```
### 4. Test your setup
Note: If [Vault Namespaces](https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/operations/namespaces) are in use, MINIO_SSE_VAULT_NAMESPACE variable needs to be set before setting approle and transit secrets engine.
#### 2.2 Specify a master key
A KMS master key consists of a master-key ID (CMK) and the 256 bit master key encoded as HEX value separated by a `:`.
A KMS master key can be specified directly using:
```sh
export MINIO_SSE_MASTER_KEY=my-minio-key:6368616e676520746869732070617373776f726420746f206120736563726574
```
### 3. Test your setup
To test this setup, start minio server with environment variables set in Step 3, and server is ready to handle SSE-S3 requests.
