🚀 Feature: Add support for Cloudflare R2 Storage

[stnguyen90]

🔖 Feature description

Cloudflare R2 Storage is an S3-compatible distributed object storage with generous pricing and a free tier. It would be great if Appwrite could make use of this storage provider.

🎤 Pitch

A storage provider with a free tier would make switching to and testing a cloud storage provider easier.

If it's S3 compatible, can it be supported rn by using the configurable ENV Vars? (I'm genuinely curious as a sanity check).

The way utopia storage works right now, a new Device needs to be implemented to change some parameters:

1. Backblaze
2. DOSpaces
3. Linode
4. Wasabi

The region constants for each provider are also a little nice to make sure you're not using the wrong region.

Then, the Appwrite code needs to be updated to use the right device based on the _APP_STORAGE_DEVICE env var.

That said, there is an issue for creating a generic S3 compatible device. And, I've seen a PR for a generic S3, but it doesn't look like it implements 1 S3 device that you can use for all S3 compatible providers.

Cool, I always learn a lot from talking to you :P

@gewenyu99 I think we had PR to do that at some point before 0.14. Not sure why it was not used.

I have the same wish!

Hello, I'd like to have a go at implementing this!

[stnguyen90]

@doublevcodes, thanks for your interest! 🙏 Happy hacking!

So as I understood at it, I need to create 2 PRs? One to utopia-php/storage and one to this repo

@doublevcodes That is correct 😇 You can take a look at this Hacktoberfest issue that we created, it's on the same topic but different adapter. You can use it's description to learn more: #3991
