Support for Models stored in GCS bucket

[kainspraveen]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
More often than not in organizations developers don't have access to download models directly from huggingface. It's ususally located in a cloud storage. Would like to add a feature that can directly take gcs link as input inside config.yaml and continue with training the model.

Describe the use case

Describe the solution you'd like
config yaml file will take gcs link as input just like it takes a local storage location of the model. It will load the model into a temporary storage and continue with regular fine-tuning or serving etc..

Describe alternatives you've considered
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.
