this commit avoids lots of tiny allocations, repeated
channel creates which are performed when filtering
the incoming events, unescaping a key just for matching.
also remove deprecated code which is not needed
anymore, avoids unexpected data structure transformations
from the map to slice.
This PR refactors object layer handling such
that upon failure in sub-system initialization
server reaches a stage of safe-mode operation
wherein only certain API operations are enabled
and available.
This allows for fixing many scenarios such as
- incorrect configuration in vault, etcd,
notification targets
- missing files, incomplete config migrations
unable to read encrypted content etc
- any other issues related to notification,
policies, lifecycle etc
