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.
Refer #4658
This change is needed to make reading from objects future proof
in-terms of handling online disks. Our current counter is not
based on affirmative knowledge and relies on arithmetic sequence
which can lead to bugs.
Using modTime simplifies the understanding of `xl.json` and future
tooling / debugging of the format.
