This PR implements an object layer which
combines input erasure sets of XL layers
into a unified namespace.
This object layer extends the existing
erasure coded implementation, it is assumed
in this design that providing > 16 disks is
a static configuration as well i.e if you started
the setup with 32 disks with 4 sets 8 disks per
pack then you would need to provide 4 sets always.
Some design details and restrictions:
- Objects are distributed using consistent ordering
to a unique erasure coded layer.
- Each pack has its own dsync so locks are synchronized
properly at pack (erasure layer).
- Each pack still has a maximum of 16 disks
requirement, you can start with multiple
such sets statically.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic expansion allowed.
- Static sets set of disks and cannot be
changed, there is no elastic removal allowed.
- ListObjects() across sets can be noticeably
slower since List happens on all servers,
and is merged at this sets layer.

Verify() was being called by caller after the data
has been successfully read after io.EOF. This disconnection
opens a race under concurrent access to such an object.
Verification is not necessary outside of Read() call,
we can simply just do checksum verification right inside
Read() call at io.EOF.
This approach simplifies the usage.
This change refactor the ObjectLayer PutObject and PutObjectPart
functions. Instead of passing an io.Reader and a size to PUT operations
ObejectLayer expects an HashReader.
A HashReader verifies the MD5 sum (and SHA256 sum if required) of the object.
This change updates all all PutObject(Part) calls and removes unnecessary code
in all ObjectLayer implementations.
Fixes#4923
