object storage range download

[jmberg]

It would be nice if libcloud could support range requests to objects, this is e.g. supported by Amazon S3 and the boto3 library.

This helps when you store bigger files, but have some kind of index locally to be able to request only parts thereof, for example.

It looks like something which could be implemented via driver / provider specific extension methods.
