Reduce number of envs and options from command line. (#3230)

Ref #3229 After review with @abperiasamy we decided to remove all the unnecessary options - MINIO_BROWSER (Implemented as a security feature but now deemed obsolete since even if blocking access to MINIO_BROWSER, s3 API port is open) - MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY (Defaults to 72h) - MINIO_MAXCONN (No one used this option and we don't test this) - MINIO_ENABLE_FSMETA (Enable FSMETA all the time) Remove --ignore-disks option - this option was implemented when XL layer would initialize the backend disks and heal them automatically to disallow XL accidentally using the root partition itself this option was introduced. This behavior has been changed XL no longer automatically initializes `format.json` a HEAL is controlled activity, so ignore-disks is not useful anymore. This change also addresses the problems of our documentation going forward and keeps things simple. This patch brings in reduction of options and defaulting them to a valid known inputs. This patch also serves as a guideline of limiting many ways to do the same thing.

 Object caching by turned on by default with following settings

-  - Default cache size 8GB, can be changed from environment variable
-    ``MINIO_CACHE_SIZE`` supports both SI and ISO IEC standard forms
-    for input size parameters.
+ - Default cache size 8GB. Cache size also automatically picks
+   a lower value if your local memory size is lower than 8GB.

-  - Default expiration of entries is 72 hours, can be changed from
-    environment variable ``MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY`` supportings Go
-    ``time.Duration`` with valid units  "ns", "us" (or "µs"),
-    "ms", "s", "m", "h".
+ - Default expiration of entries happensat 72 hours,
+   this option cannot be changed.

-  - Default expiry interval is 1/4th of the expiration hours, so
-    expiration sweep happens across the cache every 1/4th the time
-    duration of the set entry expiration duration.
-
-### Tricks
-
-Setting MINIO_CACHE_SIZE=0 will turn off caching entirely.
-Setting MINIO_CACHE_EXPIRY=0s will turn off cache garbage collections,
-all cached objects will never expire.
+ - Default expiry interval is 1/4th of the expiration hours, so
+   expiration sweep happens across the cache every 1/4th the time
+   duration of the set entry expiration duration.

 ### Behavior

-Caching happens for both GET and PUT.
+Caching happens on both GET and PUT operations.

- GET caches new objects for entries not found in cache,
-otherwise serves from the cache.
+- GET caches new objects for entries not found in cache.

 - PUT/POST caches all successfully uploaded objects.

-NOTE: Cache is not populated if there are any errors
-      while reading from the disk.
+In all other cases if objects are served from cache.
+
+NOTE:
+
+Cache is always populated upon object is successfully
+read from the disk.

 Expiration happens automatically based on the configured
 interval as explained above, frequently accessed objects

-
-## [Unreleased]
-### Added
- `Recovery.ErrorHandlerFunc` for custom error handling during recovery
-
-### Fixed
- `Written()` correct returns `false` if no response header has been written
-
-### Changed
- Set default status to `0` in the case that no handler writes status -- was
-  previously `200` (in 0.2.0, before that it was `0` so this reestablishes that
-  behavior)
- Catch `panic`s thrown by callbacks provided to the `Recovery` handler
-
-## [0.2.0] - 2016-05-10
-### Added
- Support for variadic handlers in `New()`
- Added `Negroni.Handlers()` to fetch all of the handlers for a given chain
- Allowed size in `Recovery` handler was bumped to 8k
- `Negroni.UseFunc` to push another handler onto the chain
-
-### Changed
- Set the status before calling `beforeFuncs` so the information is available to them
- Set default status to `200` in the case that no handler writes status -- was previously `0`
- Panic if `nil` handler is given to `negroni.Use`
-
-## 0.1.0 - 2013-07-22

-
-**Notice:** This is the library formerly known as
-`github.com/codegangsta/negroni` -- Github will automatically redirect requests
-to this repository, but we recommend updating your references for clarity.
-
-Negroni is an idiomatic approach to web middleware in Go. It is tiny,
-non-intrusive, and encourages use of `net/http` Handlers.
-
-If you like the idea of [Martini](https://github.com/go-martini/martini), but
-you think it contains too much magic, then Negroni is a great fit.

-
-## Getting Started
-
-After installing Go and setting up your
-[GOPATH](http://golang.org/doc/code.html#GOPATH), create your first `.go` file.
-We'll call it `server.go`.
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "fmt"
-  "net/http"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
-  })
-
-  n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)
-}
-```
-
-Then install the Negroni package (**NOTE**: &gt;= **go 1.1** is required):
-
-```
-go get github.com/urfave/negroni
-```
-
-Then run your server:
-
-```
-go run server.go
-```
-
-You will now have a Go `net/http` webserver running on `localhost:3000`.
-
-## Is Negroni a Framework?
-
-Negroni is **not** a framework. It is a middleware-focused library that is
-designed to work directly with `net/http`.
-
-## Routing?
-
-Negroni is BYOR (Bring your own Router). The Go community already has a number
-of great http routers available, and Negroni tries to play well with all of them
-by fully supporting `net/http`. For instance, integrating with [Gorilla Mux]
-looks like so:
-
-``` go
-router := mux.NewRouter()
-router.HandleFunc("/", HomeHandler)
-
-n := negroni.New(Middleware1, Middleware2)
-// Or use a middleware with the Use() function
-n.Use(Middleware3)
-// router goes last
-n.UseHandler(router)
-
-http.ListenAndServe(":3001", n)
-```
-
-## `negroni.Classic()`
-
-`negroni.Classic()` provides some default middleware that is useful for most
-applications:
-
-* [`negroni.Recovery`](#recovery) - Panic Recovery Middleware.
-* [`negroni.Logger`](#logger) - Request/Response Logger Middleware.
-* [`negroni.Static`](#static) - Static File serving under the "public"
-  directory.
-
-This makes it really easy to get started with some useful features from Negroni.
-
-## Handlers
-
-Negroni provides a bidirectional middleware flow. This is done through the
-`negroni.Handler` interface:
-
-``` go
-type Handler interface {
-  ServeHTTP(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc)
-}
-```
-
-If a middleware hasn't already written to the `ResponseWriter`, it should call
-the next `http.HandlerFunc` in the chain to yield to the next middleware
-handler.  This can be used for great good:
-
-``` go
-func MyMiddleware(rw http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request, next http.HandlerFunc) {
-  // do some stuff before
-  next(rw, r)
-  // do some stuff after
-}
-```
-
-And you can map it to the handler chain with the `Use` function:
-
-``` go
-n := negroni.New()
-n.Use(negroni.HandlerFunc(MyMiddleware))
-```
-
-You can also map plain old `http.Handler`s:
-
-``` go
-n := negroni.New()
-
-mux := http.NewServeMux()
-// map your routes
-
-n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-http.ListenAndServe(":3000", n)
-```
-
-## `Run()`
-
-Negroni has a convenience function called `Run`. `Run` takes an addr string
-identical to [`http.ListenAndServe`](https://godoc.org/net/http#ListenAndServe).
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  n := negroni.Classic()
-  n.Run(":8080")
-}
-```
-
-In general, you will want to use `net/http` methods and pass `negroni` as a
-`Handler`, as this is more flexible, e.g.:
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "fmt"
-  "log"
-  "net/http"
-  "time"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
-  })
-
-  n := negroni.Classic() // Includes some default middlewares
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  s := &http.Server{
-    Addr:           ":8080",
-    Handler:        n,
-    ReadTimeout:    10 * time.Second,
-    WriteTimeout:   10 * time.Second,
-    MaxHeaderBytes: 1 << 20,
-  }
-  log.Fatal(s.ListenAndServe())
-}
-```
-
-## Route Specific Middleware
-
-If you have a route group of routes that need specific middleware to be
-executed, you can simply create a new Negroni instance and use it as your route
-handler.
-
-``` go
-router := mux.NewRouter()
-adminRoutes := mux.NewRouter()
-// add admin routes here
-
-// Create a new negroni for the admin middleware
-router.PathPrefix("/admin").Handler(negroni.New(
-  Middleware1,
-  Middleware2,
-  negroni.Wrap(adminRoutes),
-))
-```
-
-If you are using [Gorilla Mux], here is an example using a subrouter:
-
-``` go
-router := mux.NewRouter()
-subRouter := mux.NewRouter().PathPrefix("/subpath").Subrouter().StrictSlash(true)
-subRouter.HandleFunc("/", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/"
-subRouter.HandleFunc("/:id", someSubpathHandler) // "/subpath/:id"
-
-// "/subpath" is necessary to ensure the subRouter and main router linkup
-router.PathPrefix("/subpath").Handler(negroni.New(
-  Middleware1,
-  Middleware2,
-  negroni.Wrap(subRouter),
-))
-```
-
-## Bundled Middleware
-
-### Static
-
-This middleware will serve files on the filesystem. If the files do not exist,
-it proxies the request to the next middleware. If you want the requests for
-non-existent files to return a `404 File Not Found` to the user you should look
-at using [http.FileServer](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/#FileServer) as
-a handler.
-
-Example:
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "fmt"
-  "net/http"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
-  })
-
-  // Example of using a http.FileServer if you want "server-like" rather than "middleware" behavior
-  // mux.Handle("/public", http.FileServer(http.Dir("/home/public")))
-
-  n := negroni.New()
-  n.Use(negroni.NewStatic(http.Dir("/tmp")))
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  http.ListenAndServe(":3002", n)
-}
-```
-
-Will serve files from the `/tmp` directory first, but proxy calls to the next
-handler if the request does not match a file on the filesystem.
-
-### Recovery
-
-This middleware catches `panic`s and responds with a `500` response code. If
-any other middleware has written a response code or body, this middleware will
-fail to properly send a 500 to the client, as the client has already received
-the HTTP response code. Additionally, an `ErrorHandlerFunc` can be attached
-to report 500's to an error reporting service such as Sentry or Airbrake.
-
-Example:
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "net/http"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    panic("oh no")
-  })
-
-  n := negroni.New()
-  n.Use(negroni.NewRecovery())
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
-}
-```
-
-Will return a `500 Internal Server Error` to each request. It will also log the
-stack traces as well as print the stack trace to the requester if `PrintStack`
-is set to `true` (the default).
-
-Example with error handler:
-
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "net/http"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    panic("oh no")
-  })
-
-  n := negroni.New()
-  recovery := negroni.NewRecovery()
-  recovery.ErrorHandlerFunc = reportToSentry
-  n.Use(recovery)
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  http.ListenAndServe(":3003", n)
-}
-
-func reportToSentry(error interface{}) {
-    // write code here to report error to Sentry
-}
-```
-
-
-## Logger
-
-This middleware logs each incoming request and response.
-
-Example:
-
-<!-- { "interrupt": true } -->
-``` go
-package main
-
-import (
-  "fmt"
-  "net/http"
-
-  "github.com/urfave/negroni"
-)
-
-func main() {
-  mux := http.NewServeMux()
-  mux.HandleFunc("/", func(w http.ResponseWriter, req *http.Request) {
-    fmt.Fprintf(w, "Welcome to the home page!")
-  })
-
-  n := negroni.New()
-  n.Use(negroni.NewLogger())
-  n.UseHandler(mux)
-
-  http.ListenAndServe(":3004", n)
-}
-```
-
-Will print a log similar to:
-
-```
-[negroni] Started GET /
-[negroni] Completed 200 OK in 145.446µs
-```
-
-on each request.

-// Package negroni is an idiomatic approach to web middleware in Go. It is tiny, non-intrusive, and encourages use of net/http Handlers.

-// If you like the idea of Martini, but you think it contains too much magic, then Negroni is a great fit.
