Wait for remote hosts to resolve instead of failing on first host
resolution error, when running in Kubernetes or Docker environment.
Note that
- Waiting is based on exponential back-off mechanism
- If run as a binary, server fails if remote host is not resolvable
This is needed because in orchestration platforms like Kubernetes, remote
hosts are started sequentially and all the hosts are not up initially,
though they are expected to come up in a short time frame
It is difficult to identify a cap on the waiting time due to
non-deterministic nature of infrastructure platforms, so the server waits
infinitely for the hosts to come up, while logging the error messages to
the console.

Swarm routes traffic only to containers that report healthy status,
while Minio in distributed mode needs to talk to other peers before
it can respond to healthcheck probe. As the Minio containers are not
able to talk to each other, distributed Minio is not getting started
on Docker Swarm.
With this PR, Minio Healthcheck report healthy status for initial
120s enough for distributed Minio to start. After that normal
Healthcheck resumes. Also changed the healthcheck method name
in accordance with Google shell styleguide.

Additionally remove support for arm6vl in release, since
go 1.8 the support for armv6 has been dropped and we do
not see high usage events from this platform.
Currently due to the occurrence of 6 arguments from
`gen-ldflags.go` leads to a bug where the binaries
genenerated have wrong names.
As shown below.

This PR fixes this issue by retaining the previous release
binary names.

Update the check_minimum_version function to use numeric comparison (not
string comparison) on components of version numbers. Fixes the following
output:
```
$ make
Checking deps:
ERROR
OSX version '10.11.6' not supported.
Minimum supported version: 10.8
make: *** [checks] Error 1
```
Golang 1.6 is default version for the build now.
Additionally set 'GODEBUG=cgocheck=0' for now, until
we fix the erasure coding package.
