Upload dist assets to a staging R2 bucket before a release is promoted #3602

For anyone unfamiliar with what we're trying to do with the R2 migration, see #3461

Due to some issues we've experienced with syncing release assets from the DO server to the dist-prod R2 bucket, we want to look into having a dist-staging R2 bucket that will have the assets before the release is promoted. What we think the issue is is that the DO server simply doesn't have enough resources to handle all of the traffic that comes after a release and handle uploading assets to the prod R2 bucket at the same time. By uploading to a staging bucket before the release is promoted (and thus before cache is purged), we should be able to solve this issue.

Note this will not replace uploading the release assets to the DO server. The assets will still be uploaded there like usual.

TODO:

  • Create the dist-staging bucket on Node.js's Cloudflare account
  • Upload the release binaries and docs to the dist-staging bucket as soon as they're uploaded to the DO server
  • Update release tooling in nodejs/node to allow for uploading signed shasums to the staging bucket
  • Update release promotion script to copy dist assets from dist-staging to dist-prod instead of from the dist folder in the DO server.
