---------------------------------------------------------------
[~frankoid] you were half-way there. Remember, no http driver natively supports
guava types. This means converting them to ByteSource makes things like File,
byte[], and String opaque. The previous design served two purposes.
1. Allow users to simply specify payloads for simple types. Ex. payload(bytes)
vs payload(learnGuavaSoThatYouKnowHowToWrapBytes).
2. Pass these objects directly to the http driver layer, where special case
entities can deal with common payloads. Ex. This PR reverted apachehc's ability
to special case byte arrays, which are obviously already buffered and many http
drivers can support this better than streams.

> Key: JCLOUDS-410
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCLOUDS-410
> Project: jclouds
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: jclouds-blobstore, jclouds-core
> Affects Versions: 1.7.0
> Reporter: Andrew Gaul
> Assignee: Adrian Cole
> Fix For: 2.0.0
>
>
> ByteSource has convenience methods and avoids generics notational overhead.
> Guava is moving towards this:

> Note that ByteSource implements InputSupplier<InputStream> so we should
> retain source compatibility.
