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.

Following is a sample list lock API request schematic,
/?lock&bucket=mybucket&prefix=myprefix&duration=holdDuration
x-minio-operation: list
The response would contain the list of locks held on mybucket matching
myprefix for a duration longer than holdDuration.
* Filter lock info based on bucket, prefix and time since lock was held
* Implement list and clear locks REST API
* madmin: Add list and clear locks API
* locks: Clear locks matching bucket, prefix, relTime.
* Gather lock information across nodes for both list and clear locks admin REST API.
* docs: Add lock API to management APIs
