This is an improvement upon existing implementation
by avoiding transfer of access and secret keys over
the network. This change only exchanges JWT tokens
generated by an rpc client. Even if the JWT can be
traced over the network on a non-TLS connection, this
change makes sure that we never really expose the
secret key over the network.
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 fixes a potential security issue, whereby a full-access
token to the server would be available in the GET URL of a download
request. This fixes that issue by introducing short-expiry tokens, which
are only valid for one minute, and are regenerated for every download
request.
This commit specifically introduces the short-lived tokens, adds tests
for the tokens, adds an RPC call for generating a token given a
full-access token, updates the browser to use the new tokens for
requests where the token is passed as a GET parameter, and adds some
tests with the new temporary tokens.

Creds don't require secretKeyHash to be calculated
everytime, cache it instead and re-use.
This is an optimization for bcrypt.
Relevant results from the benchmark done locally, negative
value means improvement in this scenario.

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.
