Description
owlbot.py contains functions to patch the generated code, e.g., [owlbot.py](https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-node/blob/main/handwritten/storage/owlbot.py) in storage.
We should audit all owlbot.py in google-cloud-node and for each function, we should either rewrite the common functions in librarian, e.g., moving files from staging directory to library output, or adding a configuration in a library for special string replacement.
We can remove owlbot.py after these modifications.

Research direction
Start with handwritten/storage/owlbot.py and audit all owlbot.py files in google-cloud-node, identifying each patching function. Read the corresponding librarian generation flow and determine whether each function belongs as a common librarian behavior or library configuration. Done means the required behavior is migrated and the owlbot.py files can be removed.
