gdscloud 0.99.0

NEW FEATURES

• Direct support for HTTP/HTTPS URLs ('http://' and 'https://') in 'gdsCloudOpen()', allowing GDS files to be opened from any web server that supports HTTP Range requests
• Cloud storage access for GDS files via Amazon S3 ('s3://'), Google Cloud Storage ('gs://'), and Azure Blob Storage ('az://')
• Transparent integration with 'openfn.gds()' from the gdsfmt package, loading gdscloud enables cloud URL support automatically
• LRU block cache (1 MB blocks, default 64 MB) for efficient random access with minimal HTTP requests
• 'gdsCloudConfigHTTP()' for configuring optional Bearer token authentication for HTTP/HTTPS endpoints; also reads the 'GDSCLOUD_HTTP_TOKEN' environment variable as a fallback
• Credential configuration functions: 'gdsCloudConfigS3()', 'gdsCloudConfigGCS()', 'gdsCloudConfigAzure()', with fallback to environment variables
• 'gdsCloudExportCredentials()' copies configured cloud credentials to child processes of a parallel cluster, for use with 'SeqArray::seqParallel()'
• Cache control: 'gdsCloudCacheSize()', 'gdsCloudCacheClear()', 'gdsCloudCacheInfo()'
• 'gdsCloudList()' to list all open cloud streams with per-stream cache statistics
