Description

In some cases, a Minio bucket can contain so many files that the server struggles to perform the list objects recursively operation, resulting in a complete freeze of mc mirror. This pull request introduces the --bfs parameter, enabling mc mirror to traverse folders layer by layer, thus avoiding overwhelming the server by listing all files at once.

closes #4873

@Laisky what kind of benchmarks have you done to show the difference?

if !strings.HasSuffix(base, "/") && !strings.HasPrefix(element, "/") {
return base + "/" + element
}
return base + element
}

you have to test with URLs @Laisky just thinking that base and element are just paths is not going to work.
