- Drop the code needed for asynchronous removal of the directory on NFS shares.
This code was needed when VictoriaMetrics could keep open files after their deletion
or renaming. This is no longer the case after the commit 43b24164ef .
Now files are deleted only after all the readers close them.
This updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/61
- Unify MustRemoveAll() and MustRemoveDirAtomic() into MustRemoveDir() and MustRemovePath()
functions:
- The MustRemoveDir() deletes the given directory with all its contents, in an "atomic" way:
it creates a special `.delete-this-dir` file in the directory, then removes all its contents
except of this file, and later removes the `.delete-this-dir` file together with the directory
itself. This makes possible easily determining whether the given directory needs to be deleted
after unclean shutdown - if it contains the `.delete-this-dir` file or if it is empty, it must be deleted.
Add IsPartiallyRemovedDir() function, which can be used for detecting whether the given directory must be removed
at starup.
Previously the MustRemoveDirAtomic() was using a "trick" for atomic directory removal: it was "atomically" renaming
the directory to a temporary directory with '.must-remove.' marker in the directory name, and after that it
was removing the renamed directory. On startup all the directories with the `.must-remove.` marker were deleted
if they are left after unclean shutdown. This "trick" doesn't work for NFS and object storage such as S3,
since these storage systems do not support atomic renaming of directories with multiple entries inside.
The new MustRemoveDir() function doesn't use this "trick", so it can be safely used in NFS and S3-like storage systems.
This is based on the pull request from @func25 - https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/9486/files .
- The MustRemovePath() deletes the given file or an empty directory.
- Delete the existing parts and partitions at startup if they were partially deleted.
- Consistently use fs.MustRemoveDir() and fs.MustRemovePath() instead of os.RemoveAll() across the codebase.
This reduces the amounts of bolierplate code related to error handling.
- Consistently use fs.MustWriteSync() instead of os.WriteFile() across the codebase.

The ioutil.{Read|Write}File is deprecated since Go1.16 -
see https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.16#ioutil
VictoriaMetrics needs at least Go1.18, so it is safe to remove ioutil usage
from source code.
