This change introduces following simplified steps to follow
during config migration.
```
// Steps to move from version N to version N+1
// 1. Add new struct serverConfigVN+1 in config-versions.go
// 2. Set configCurrentVersion to "N+1"
// 3. Set serverConfigCurrent to serverConfigVN+1
// 4. Add new migration function (ex. func migrateVNToVN+1()) in config-migrate.go
// 5. Call migrateVNToVN+1() from migrateConfig() in config-migrate.go
// 6. Make changes in config-current_test.go for any test change
```
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.
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.

Also changes the behavior of `secretKeyHash` which is
not necessary to be sent over the network, each node
has its own secretKeyHash to validate.
Fixes#3696
Partial(fix) #3700 (More changes needed with some code cleanup)
Avoid passing size = -1 to PutObject API by requiring content-length
header in POST request (as AWS S3 does) and in Upload web handler.
Post handler is modified to completely store multipart file to know
its size before sending it to PutObject().
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.
