This is a consolidation effort, avoiding usage
of naked strings in codebase. Whenever possible
use constants which can be repurposed elsewhere.
This also fixes `goconst ./...` reported issues.
rpcClient should attempt a reconnect if the call fails
with 'rpc.ErrShutdown' this is needed since at times when
the servers are taken down and brought back up.
The hijacked connection from net.Dial is usually closed.
So upon first attempt rpcClient might falsely indicate that
disk to be down, to avoid this state make another dial attempt
to really fail.

Default golang net.Listen only listens on the first IP when
host resolves to multiple IPs.
This change addresses a problem for example your ``/etc/hosts``
has entries as following
```
127.0.1.1 minio1
192.168.1.10 minio1
```
Trying to start minio as
```
minio server --address "minio1:9001" ~/Photos
```
Causes the minio server to be bound only to "127.0.1.1" which
is an incorrect behavior since we are generally interested in
`192.168.1.10` as well.
This patch addresses this issue if the hostname is resolvable
and gives back list of addresses associated with that hostname
we just bind on all of them as it is the expected behavior.
For command line arguments we are currently following
- <node-1>:/path ... <node-n>:/path
This patch changes this to
- http://<node-1>/path ... http://<node-n>/path
