Remote file storage I/O.

Whole-file transfer (upload transactions, download sessions, credentials, and the object-store abstraction) for moving files in and out of Roboto storage, plus the range-reader, local cache, and sparse-buffer primitives for streaming byte-range reads that the format decoders in `roboto.formats` build on.
