S3TransferUtility: PHAssetResourceManager integration

[vitalyster]

Which AWS Services is the feature request for? S3 Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I want to upload big video using S3TransferUtility. It provides uploadFileUsingMultipart and uploadDataUsingMultipart methods where I need to provide file URL (while Photos URLs are inaccessible for background tasks and I need to extract data to temporary directory) or full file content, and it will split file into multiple parts. It may need too much time before actual upload starts. iOS provides PHAssetResourceManager API for asynchronous chunks requests to avoid waiting full asset extraction and it is easy to push these chunks to multipart S3 upload API. Describe the solution you'd like High-level solution: API method like uploadAssetUsingMultipart with PHAsset as parameter, which will use PHAssetResourceManager to feed chunks into multipart upload.

Describe alternatives you've considered Low-level solution (~~which presents in AWS SDK for different languages~~ actually exists in AWSS3Service): initiateMultipartUpload, uploadPart, completeMultipartUpload
