Use remotely stored rings to support larger deployments

Goals (mandatory - Complete while in New status)

Allow management of larger Swift deployments, like:

• envs using multiple rings (storage policies)
• envs using rings > 1MiB in size (etcd limitation)

Requirements (mandatory -_ Complete while in Refinement status):

Done - Acceptance Criteria (mandatory - Complete while in Refinement status):

Should have the functionality tested in one of integration or component CI pipelines

Use Cases - i.e. User Experience & Workflow: (Initial completion while in Refinement status):

Any other large environment which would generate a ring bigger in size than 1MB

Out of Scope __(Initial completion while in Refinement status):

We do not deveolp automation to update the ring and upload it on the external HTTP server

Documentation Considerations __(Initial completion while in Refinement status):

The option to use externally provided rings needs to be documented
