AWS S3 client can read file multiple times, this is required for:
- calculate checksums
- calculate signature (done only for HTTP, since ClickHouse uses
PayloadSigningPolicy::Never)
So this means that for HTTP, to send file to S3 it will be read 3x
times, and for HTTPS 2x times.
By overriding GetChecksumAlgorithmName() to return empty string,
checksums can be disabled, and the input file will be read only once.
And even though additional https layer adds extra integrity layer,
someone still may find this too risky I guess, even though ClickHouse
internal format (for MergeTree) has checksums, and more.
Here is an example stacktrace of this excessive read:

This new behaviour could be enabled with `s3_disable_checksum=true`.
Note, that I've checked this implementation with GCS/R2/S3/MinIO and it
works everywhere.
