Currently `xl.json` saves algorithm information for bit-rot
verification. Since the bit-rot algo's can change in the
future make sure the erasureReadFile doesn't default to
a particular algo. Instead use the checkSumInfo.
* unit-tests: Unit tests for erasureCreateFile and erasureReadFile.
* appendFile() should return errXLWriteQuorum.
* TestErasureReadFileOffsetLength() tests erasureReadFile() for different offset and lengths.
* Fix for the failure seen in the erasure read unit test case. Issue #2227
* Move common erasure setup code to newErasureTestSetup()
* Review fixes. Add few more test cases for erasureReadFile.
* XL: Refactor of xl.PutObjectPart and erasureCreateFile.
* GetCheckSum and AddCheckSum methods for xlMetaV1
* Simple unit test case for erasureCreateFile()
Change brings in a new signVerifyReader which provides a io.Reader
compatible reader, additionally implements Verify() function.
Verify() function validates the signature present in the incoming
request. This approach is choosen to avoid complexities involved
in using io.Pipe().
Thanks to Krishna for his inputs on this.

This is needed so that we only write data which was requested
for, using a limit reader avoids spurious reads on the incoming
client data. Additionally using limit reader provides server
safety from rogue clients sending copious amounts of data (for
example a denial of service attack).
This patch also caters for size == -1 when content encoding from
a client is set as chunked, we happily read till io.EOF
AppendFile ensures that it appends the entire buffer. Returns
an error otherwise, this patch removes the necessity for the
caller to look for 'n' return on short writes.
Ref #1893
Strided erasure distribution uses a new randomized
block distribution for each Put operation. This
information is captured inside `xl.json` for subsequent
Get operations.
