This fixes an issue with file upload streaming. Previously passing the file was added in PR carrierwaveuploader#468, and was subsequently broken by PR carrierwaveuploader#1517. This corrects the approach implemented in PR carrierwaveuploader#468, without introducing the problem in PR carrierwaveuploader#1517. New behavior: In the case of a fog based retrieval request, the file will be fetched as it was previously. The file read method will then see that file.body is set to a non-nil value, and return the file content from the file object. In the case of a fog based storage request, the file will be uploaded either as full text, or in batches as it was in PR carrierwaveuploader#468. However, to address the issue observed in PR carrierwaveuploader#1517 we set the body to nil, and then store a reference to the source file (the CarrierWave::SanitizedFile/read compatible object passed). This in turn results in the read method seeing no body on the file object, and consulting the source file for the file contents. The approach to storage requests is taken over two other approaches: Approach carrierwaveuploader#1: We could read the file into memory as carrierwave currently does, however, this results in large files often exhausting the heap space of the process, thus making carrierwave a poor choice for large file uploads. Approach carrierwaveuploader#2: We could not store a reference to the original source file, however, this would result in an additional retrieval requests carrierwave does not currently make, potentially costing in bandwidth for current users.
