Chef::HTTP#streaming_request

Makes a streaming download request, streaming the response body to a
tempfile. If a block is given, the tempfile is passed to the block and
the tempfile will automatically be unlinked after the block is executed.

If no block is given, the tempfile is returned, which means it's up to
you to unlink the tempfile when you're done with it.
