objects with 10,000 parts and many of them can
cause a large memory spike which can potentially
lead to OOM due to lack of GC.
with previous PR reducing the memory usage significantly
in #17963, this PR reduces this further by 80% under
repeated calls.
Scanner sub-system has no use for the slice of Parts(),
it is better left empty.

This unit allows users to limit the maximum number of noncurrent
versions of an object.
To enable this rule you need the following *ilm.json*
```
cat >> ilm.json <<EOF
{
"Rules": [
{
"ID": "test-max-noncurrent",
"Status": "Enabled",
"Filter": {
"Prefix": "user-uploads/"
},
"NoncurrentVersionExpiration": {
"MaxNoncurrentVersions": 5
}
}
]
}

```
Existing:
```go
type xlMetaV2 struct {
Versions []xlMetaV2Version `json:"Versions" msg:"Versions"`
}
```
Serialized as regular MessagePack.
```go
//msgp:tuple xlMetaV2VersionHeader
type xlMetaV2VersionHeader struct {
VersionID [16]byte
ModTime int64
Type VersionType
Flags xlFlags
}
```
Serialize as streaming MessagePack, format:
```
int(headerVersion)
int(xlmetaVersion)
int(nVersions)
for each version {
binary blob, xlMetaV2VersionHeader, serialized
binary blob, xlMetaV2Version, serialized.
}
```
xlMetaV2VersionHeader is <= 30 bytes serialized. Deserialized struct
can easily be reused and does not contain pointers, so efficient as a
slice (single allocation)
This allows quickly parsing everything as slices of bytes (no copy).
Versions are always *saved* sorted by modTime, newest *first*.
No more need to sort on load.
* Allows checking if a version exists.
* Allows reading single version without unmarshal all.
* Allows reading latest version of type without unmarshal all.
* Allows reading latest version without unmarshal of all.
* Allows checking if the latest is deleteMarker by reading first entry.
* Allows adding/updating/deleting a version with only header deserialization.
* Reduces allocations on conversion to FileInfo(s).
