Replication by chunk

Support copy over chunk when copying image blobs for harbor replication.

feat: introduce the copy by chunk for replication by @chlins in 17602
Add copy_by-chunk checkbox for replication rule by @AllForNothing in 17617

With the development of edge compute, the image registry such as Harbor be deployed by sink to edge nodes to achieve the better performance and independence. For some use cases, they need to replicate images from one center Harbor(regisgtry) to edge Harbor instance, but usually the network for edge is restrict and even unstable. The Low Bandwidth and High Latency environment is the big challenge for replication. So we need to support copy over chunk for replication to improve the quality.
