Description

### What would you like to happen?

There are scenarios where we need to copy a large number of files between file systems, for example, from S3 to GCS.

We currently can do this via a custom composite transform that uses `fileio.Match` -> `fileio.ReadFiles` -> `custom sink implementation that copies bytes from source to destination without parsing the file format` but it's good to have an standard efficient utility in Beam for this.
