Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I look at how we allocate a lot of memory to fetch data from storage. #2316, #2178, #1398. #2814 also reminds about it.
Describe the solution you'd like
#1932 has some valid input for these problems, although it's localized to CLI, whereas I'm more concerned about SN. We can store/fetch objects in a bit different manner, serializing header and payload separately right at the FSTree level. Then object get operation would return a header and an io.ReaderCloser pointing to the file (if it's not too small). This can then be streamed to the outside as needed (but likely API changes are required as well).
Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep pulling MBs of data from the storage is no fun.

Research direction
Start by reading the FSTree-level storage and object get paths, then compare the constraints discussed in #1932 and related issues #2316, #2178, #1398, and #2814. The work is complete only when the header/payload representation, streaming behavior, and required API changes are agreed and implemented for SN.
