Sawood Alam 04bee0f36d Implementing custom PathClean function to allow masking, closes #1298 (#1317)
* Added path cleanup functions with masking to preserve certain patterns + unit tests, #1298

* Use custom PathClean function instead of path.Clean to apply masks to preserve protocol separator in the path

* Indentation corrected in the test data map to pass the lint

* Fixing ineffassign of a temporary string variable

* Improved variable naming and documentation

* Improved variable naming

* Added benchmarks and improved variable naming in tests

* Removed unnecessary value capture when iterating over a map for keys

* A typo correction

// CleanMaskedPath prevents one or more of the path cleanup operations:
// - collapse multiple slashes into one
// - eliminate "/." (current directory)
// - eliminate "<parent_directory>/.."
// by masking certain patterns in the path with a temporary random string.
// This could be helpful when certain patterns in the path are desired to be preserved
// that would otherwise be changed by path.Clean().
// One such use case is the presence of the double slashes as protocol separator
// (e.g., /api/endpoint/http://example.com).
// This is a common pattern in many applications to allow passing URIs as path argument.
