[gdal-dev] Writing geotiff with /vsigs in Python does not work

/vsigs/ implementation (and other cloud virtual file systems) only supports 
sequential writing, but in the general case, writing a GeoTIFF file requires 
random writing capabilities, particularly for compressed datasets.
See the "streaming operations" paragraph of http://gdal.org/frmt_gtiff.html
So you have to create a on-disk file first and then copy it to the bucket.
