HPCC-26958 introduces the ability to access logical files from other remote environments in a cloud configuration.

This is acheived by configuring the storage section of hpcc helm chart with a "remote" section.
The storage.remote section is a list of named remote environments that define the remote service url and a section that maps remote plane names to local plane names.
The local planes referenced are special planes with category 'remote'. They are read-only and only exposed to the engines which can read from them.

Example:

This defines a remote target called "hpcc2" whose DFS service url is http://20.102.22.31:8010 and whose local plane is "hpcc2data".

The local plane must be defined such that it shares the same storage as the remote environment. This is expected to be done via a PVC that has been pre-configured to use the same storage.

A logical file will be access in ECL in the following form, e.g.:
