Add OpendalLayer to allow serving files from differnet storage services

- I have looked for existing issues (including closed) about this
I'm interested in implementing this for tower-http.
Feature Request
Motivation
ServeDir functions properly, but is limited to the local file system. This limitation makes it challenging to serve content from sources like memory, redis, s3, or moka.
What if we expand its capabilities to include all types of storage services?
Proposal
OpenDAL is a data access layer that allows users to easily and efficiently retrieve data from various storage services in a unified way.
We can implement a new service that based on opendal and provide similiar features to ServeDir.
Alternatives
We can leave this feature unimplemented.
This seems sufficiently complex to be its own crate.
Additionally, maintenance bandwidth is very limited for tower-http at the moment, which further makes new medium-to-large features very hard to land. I'll close this for now, feel free to link to any tower OpenDAL implementations though or further discuss the topic in general.
