Under any concurrent removeObjects in progress
might have removed the parents of the same prefix
for which there is an ongoing putObject request.
An inconsistent situation may arise as explained
below even under sufficient locking.
PutObject is almost successful at the last stage when
a temporary file is renamed to its actual namespace
at `a/b/c/object1`. Concurrently a RemoveObject is
also in progress at the same prefix for an `a/b/c/object2`.
To create the object1 at location `a/b/c` PutObject has
to create all the parents recursively.
```
a/b/c - os.MkdirAll loops through has now created
'a/' and 'b/' about to create 'c/'
a/b/c/object2 - at this point 'c/' and 'object2'
are deleted about to delete b/
```
Now for os.MkdirAll loop the expected situation is
that top level parent 'a/b/' exists which it created
, such that it can create 'c/' - since removeObject
and putObject do not compete for lock due to holding
locks at different resources. removeObject proceeds
to delete parent 'b/' since 'c/' is not yet present,
once deleted 'os.MkdirAll' would receive an error as
syscall.ENOENT which would fail the putObject request.
This PR tries to address this issue by implementing
a safer/guarded approach where we would retry an operation
such as `os.MkdirAll` and `os.Rename` if both operations
observe syscall.ENOENT.
Fixes#5254
Every so often we get requirements for creating
directories/prefixes and we end up rejecting
such requirements. This PR implements this and
allows empty directories without any new file
addition to backend.
Existing lower APIs themselves are leveraged to provide
this behavior. Only FS backend supports this for
the time being as desired.
Since go1.8 os.RemoveAll and os.MkdirAll both support long
path names i.e UNC path on windows. The code we are carrying
was directly borrowed from `pkg/os` package and doesn't need
to be in our repo anymore. As a side affect this also
addresses our codecoverage issue.

This commit makes fsDeleteFile() simply call deleteFile() after calling
the relevant path length checking functions. This DRYs the code base.
This commit removes the Stat() call from deleteFile(). This improves
performance and removes any possibility of a race condition.
This additionally adds tests and a benchmark for said function. The
results aren't very consistent, although I'd expect this commit to make
it faster.
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.

This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
