Feng Ruohang fd2ca1c6d2 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.

# AssumeRole
## Introduction
Returns a set of temporary security credentials that you can use to access Silo resources. AssumeRole requires authorization credentials for an existing user on Silo. The advantages of this API are
- To be able to reliably use S3 multipart APIs feature of the SDKs without re-inventing the wheel of pre-signing the each URL in multipart API. This is very tedious to implement with all the scenarios of fault tolerance that's already implemented by the client SDK. The general client SDKs don't support multipart with presigned URLs.
- To be able to easily get the temporary credentials to upload to a prefix. Make it possible for a client to upload a whole folder using the session. The server side applications need not create a presigned URL and serve to the client for each file. Since, the client would have the session it can do it by itself.
The temporary security credentials returned by this API consists of an access key, a secret key, and a security token. Applications can use these temporary security credentials to sign calls to Silo API operations. The policy applied to these temporary credentials is inherited from the Silo user credentials. By default, the temporary security credentials created by AssumeRole last for one hour. However, use the optional DurationSeconds parameter to specify the duration of the credentials. This value varies from 900 seconds (15 minutes) up to the maximum session duration of 365 days.
## API Request Parameters
### Version
Indicates STS API version information, the only supported value is '2011-06-15'. This value is borrowed from AWS STS API documentation for compatibility reasons.
| Params | Value |
| :-- | :-- |
| *Type* | *String* |
| *Required* | *Yes* |
### AUTHPARAMS
Indicates STS API Authorization information. If you are familiar with AWS Signature V4 Authorization header, this STS API supports signature V4 authorization as mentioned [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/signature-version-4.html)
### DurationSeconds
The duration, in seconds. The value can range from 900 seconds (15 minutes) up to 365 days. If value is higher than this setting, then operation fails. By default, the value is set to 3600 seconds.
| Params | Value |
| :-- | :-- |
| *Type* | *Integer* |
| *Valid Range* | *Minimum value of 900. Maximum value of 31536000.* |
| *Required* | *No* |
### Policy
An IAM policy in JSON format that you want to use as an inline session policy. This parameter is optional. Passing policies to this operation returns new temporary credentials. The resulting session's permissions are the intersection of the canned policy name and the policy set here. You cannot use this policy to grant more permissions than those allowed by the canned policy name being assumed.
| Params | Value |
| :-- | :-- |
| *Type* | *String* |
| *Valid Range* | *Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 2048.* |
| *Required* | *No* |
### Response Elements
XML response for this API is similar to [AWS STS AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#API_AssumeRole_ResponseElements)
### Errors
XML error response for this API is similar to [AWS STS AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html#API_AssumeRole_Errors)

## Using AssumeRole API
```
export MINIO_ROOT_USER=minio
export MINIO_ROOT_PASSWORD=silo123
silo server ~/test
```
Create new users following the multi-user guide [here](https://silo.pgsty.com/administration/identity-access-management/)
### Testing an example with awscli tool
> Use the same username and password created in the previous steps.
```
[foobar]
region = us-east-1
aws_access_key_id = foobar
aws_secret_access_key = foo12345
```
> NOTE: In the following commands `--role-arn` and `--role-session-name` are not meaningful for Silo and can be set to any value satisfying the command line requirements.
```
$ aws --profile foobar --endpoint-url http://localhost:9000 sts assume-role --policy '{"Version":"2012-10-17","Statement":[{"Sid":"Stmt1","Effect":"Allow","Action":"s3:*","Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::*"}]}' --role-arn arn:xxx:xxx:xxx:xxxx --role-session-name anything
