This change is to clarify that we are not only rebuilding the uploader
but also fetching and caching the file locally, which is an expensive
operation.

Each transfer code will handle local and remote in a slightly different
way.

This changes make sure we are switching from one mode to the other.

Extract local and remote attributes to its own method

Our current specs base are in many cases, not testing uploads correctly.

There are many variations on how uploads behave, depending on which
Uploader and which model it is related to, but because our test cases
have mocked important pieces, it was never testing them.

This fixes that by removing mocks and making the required adjustments.

This allows Geo to transfer files from primary to the secondary, with
both sides using Object Storage.

We only initiate a transfer of files in Object Storage if the Geo node
is configured to do so.

Specs now use stub_request instead of the multiple mocks it was using
before, so we can actually test the correct behavior

Changed BaseTransfer method signature to use named parameters, so we
could use optional ones in the future.

Result now informs when an unsuccessful transfer was skipped before even
trying or not
