_PerformStreamUpload passes Key where fp expected

The _PerformStreamUpload call at the end of _CopyObjToObjDiffProvider (in gslib/commands/cp.py) passes in a Key for the first param (where an fp is expected), which only works because of Python "duck typing" (the fact that the lower-level methods that expect an fp only happen to call fp methods that are defined and semantically equivalent to those defined on src_key). This should be replaced by a class that warps an fp interface around the Key, throwing 'not implemented' for methods (like seek) that aren't implemented by non-file Keys.

Due to changes in boto that now call fp-specific functions (like tell() and seek()) this duck-typing luckiness no longer suffices. This bug now blocks uses from doing cross-provider copies into gs://

Changing this to high priority.
