docs: rebrand the repository documentation, templates and dashboards

README, README_ZH, SECURITY, COMPLIANCE, CONTRIBUTING, NOTICE,
code_of_conduct, the vulnerability and PR-etiquette documents, the GitHub issue
and pull request templates, and the docs/ tree all present Silo as the product.
The Grafana dashboards under docs/metrics/prometheus/grafana/ have their panel
titles and descriptions rebranded while every minio_* query, label and
expression is left alone, so existing alerts and recording rules keep matching.

The distinction the review demanded is applied per hit rather than by
search-and-replace:

- Product and command text becomes Silo and silo: install and run instructions,
  systemd examples, compose services, download links, badges.
- Protocol and interface text keeps MinIO: MINIO_* variables, minio_* metrics,
  x-minio-* headers, /minio/* routes, .minio.sys, arn:minio, and API field and
  error names.
- Attribution keeps MinIO and gains the fork's own: the AGPL obligations,
  original copyright, CREDITS and NOTICE stay, with the modification notice
  added alongside rather than replacing them.
- Historical and third-party references are left as facts, not rewritten for
  brand tidiness.

README and README_ZH each carry an explicit non-affiliation notice, document
the side-by-side package migration including the
/etc/systemd/system/silo.service.d/10-legacy-user.conf drop-in for keeping a
legacy UID/GID, and state that recursive chown is never performed. The trademark
attribution uses the policy's approved "based on MinIO technology" wording, not
the shortened form the policy rejects.

github.com/pgsty/minio links are left in place and labelled transitional. The
repository has not been renamed, and rewriting them now would produce documented
URLs that 404 until the cutover; they change in the cutover commit together with
the goreleaser release target, the OCI source label and the raw-content branch.

# ILM Tiering Design [![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/pgsty/silo.svg?maxAge=604800)](https://hub.docker.com/r/pgsty/silo/)

Lifecycle transition functionality provided in [bucket lifecycle guide](https://github.com/pgsty/minio/blob/master/docs/bucket/lifecycle/README.md) allows tiering of content from Silo object store to public clouds or other Silo clusters.
Transition tiers can be added to MinIO using `mc admin tier add` command to associate a `gcs`, `s3` or `azure` bucket or prefix path on a bucket to the tier name.
Transition tiers can be added to Silo using `mc admin tier add` command to associate a `gcs`, `s3` or `azure` bucket or prefix path on a bucket to the tier name.
Lifecycle transition rules can be applied to buckets (both versioned and un-versioned) by specifying the tier name defined above as the transition storage class for the lifecycle rule.
## Implementation
ILM tiering takes place when a object placed in the bucket meets lifecycle transition rules and becomes eligible for tiering. MinIO scanner (which runs at one minute intervals, each time scanning one sixteenth of the namespace), picks up the object for tiering. The data is moved to the remote tier in entirety, leaving only the object metadata on MinIO.

Silo scanner (which runs at one minute intervals, each time scanning one sixteenth of the namespace), picks up the object for tiering. The data is moved to the remote tier in entirety, leaving only the object metadata on Silo.
The data on the backend is stored under the `bucket/prefix` specified in the tier configuration with a custom name derived from a randomly generated uuid - e.g. `0b/c4/0bc4fab7-2daf-4d2f-8e39-5c6c6fb7e2d3`. The first two prefixes are characters 1-2,3-4 from the uuid. This format allows tiering to any cloud irrespective of whether the cloud in question supports versioning. The reference to the transitioned object name and transitioned tier is stored as part of the internal metadata for the object (or its version) on MinIO.

### Encrypted/Object locked objects
For objects under SSE-S3 or SSE-C encryption, the encrypted content from MinIO cluster is copied as is to the remote tier without any decryption. The content is decrypted as it is streamed from remote tier on `GET/HEAD`. Objects under retention are protected because the metadata present on MinIO server ensures that the object (version) is not deleted until retention period is over. Administrators need to ensure that the remote tier bucket is under proper access control.

### Transition Status
MinIO specific extension header `X-Minio-Transition` is displayed on `HEAD/GET` to predict expected transition date on the object. Once object is transitioned to the remote tier,`x-amz-storage-class` shows the tier name to which object transitioned. Additional headers such as "X-Amz-Restore-Expiry-Days", "x-amz-restore", and "X-Amz-Restore-Request-Date" are displayed when a object is under restore/has been restored to local MinIO cluster.

## 4. Enable ILM transition feature
In Erasure mode, MinIO supports tiering to public cloud providers such as GCS, AWS and Azure as well as to other MinIO clusters via the ILM transition feature. This will allow transitioning of older objects to a different cluster or the public cloud by setting up transition rules in the bucket lifecycle configuration. This feature enables applications to optimize storage costs by moving less frequently accessed data to a cheaper storage without compromising accessibility of data.
