[feature] S3 support (#674)
* feat: vendor minio client

* feat: introduce storage package with s3 support

* feat: serve s3 files directly

this saves a lot of bandwith as the files are fetched from the object
store directly

* fix: use explicit local storage in tests

* feat: integrate s3 storage with the main server

* fix: add s3 config to cli tests

* docs: explicitly set values in example config

also adds license header to the storage package

* fix: use better http status code on s3 redirect

HTTP 302 Found is the best fit, as it signifies that the resource
requested was found but not under its presumed URL

307/TemporaryRedirect would mean that this resource is usually located
here, not in this case

303/SeeOther indicates that the redirection does not link to the
requested resource but to another page

* refactor: use context in storage driver interface

# go-homedir
This is a Go library for detecting the user's home directory without
the use of cgo, so the library can be used in cross-compilation environments.
Usage is incredibly simple, just call `homedir.Dir()` to get the home directory
for a user, and `homedir.Expand()` to expand the `~` in a path to the home
directory.
**Why not just use `os/user`?** The built-in `os/user` package requires
cgo on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code that uses that package
cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the use for `os/user` is just to
retrieve the home directory, which we can do for the current user without
cgo. This library does that, enabling cross-compilation.
