test zot against s3 storage

[andaaron]

Theoretically zot should work with S3 storage if we:

• Use https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse to mount the S3 storage in the zot container.
• Use 28974e8

In order to test this integration

• Setup a proof of concept environment where minio + https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse are used
• Manually test the proof of concept environment.
• Test the performance with parallel workload mix - there are some sample tests here: 28974e8#diff-be341d4347a3a838be38fb875f2c6b5e89bf5fb37921adb784636aa8d1935967R374
• We need to implement test scripts to test this s3 integration automatically, using GH actions.

In the production version of this feature, the S3 configuration parameters as well as the zot configuration would be passed to the zot container using kubernetes specific objects.

Maybe benchmarks also? https://pkg.go.dev/testing#hdr-Benchmarks
Hard to tell what the latency, etc is.
Wouldn't mind if that is part of #202 instead of this issue.

One good argument against using fuse mounts is that perhaps under some circumstances such as deploying containers, privileges to mount are not available/allowed. In which case, we may have to directly interact with the s3 APIs.
