This PR implements locking from a global entity into
a more localized set level entity, allowing for locks
to be held only on the resources which are writing
to a collection of disks rather than a global level.
In this process this PR also removes the top-level
limit of 32 nodes to an unlimited number of nodes. This
is a precursor change before bring in bucket expansion.
In distributed mode, use REST API to acquire and manage locks instead
of RPC.
RPC has been completely removed from MinIO source.
Since we are moving from RPC to REST, we cannot use rolling upgrades as the
nodes that have not yet been upgraded cannot talk to the ones that have
been upgraded.
We expect all minio processes on all nodes to be stopped and then the
upgrade process to be completed.
Also force http1.1 for inter-node communication
Added support for new RPC support using HTTP POST. RPC's
arguments and reply are Gob encoded and sent as HTTP
request/response body.
This patch also removes Go RPC based implementation.
