ngclient: support `StorageBackendInterface`?

Description of issue or feature request:

Right now, tuf.ngclient is heavily tied to local system I/O: it assumes a metadata directory on disk that can be read/written. For example:

https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/blob/4d2ff8d37d30e94dbc0fe2cfa42bd46d2bb72414/tuf/ngclient/updater.py#L293-L312

This is problematic in distributed worker setups like Warehouse (PyPI), where each worker has its own container/entire VM and thus can't easily share on-disk TUF repos. In particular, this causes both reliability and security concerns:

• Reliability: an unfortunate corruption in a single worker's TUF repo results in a hard-to-diagnose flaky worker, since each worker has its own copy of the repo.
• Security: each worker's TUF repo is independently stored on a (machine-local) disk, making them harder to audit.

This problem was noted a few years back, before tuf.ngclient was created: https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/issues/1009. The solution then was to add a filesystem abstraction to the tuf.metadata APIs, which was done via https://github.com/secure-systems-lab/securesystemslib/pull/232 and https://github.com/theupdateframework/python-tuf/issues/1009. However, this abstraction wasn't added to the ngclient APIs, only to the low-level metadata ones.

Current behavior:

tuf.ngclient currently assumes that it can perform persistent local I/O for its repository.

Expected behavior:

tuf.ngclient should support an I/O abstraction (such as the pre-existing StorageBackendInterface, if suitable) for persistent repo operations, enabling use in distributed deployments.

Inizia da tuf/ngclient/updater.py intorno alle righe 293-312 e confronta il suo I/O persistente del repository con l’StorageBackendInterface esistente utilizzata dalle API di metadati di basso livello. Determina l’ambito dell’API e dell’integrazione necessario per ngclient, quindi verifica che le operazioni del repository possano utilizzare storage non locale nelle implementazioni distribuite.
