Concrete implementation of AbstractInputStreamContent that simply handles the transfer of
data from an input stream to an output stream. This should only be used for streams that can not
be re-opened and retried. If you have a stream that it is possible to recreate please create a
new subclass of AbstractInputStreamContent.
The input stream is guaranteed to be closed at the end of #writeTo(OutputStream).
Return an input stream for the specific implementation type of AbstractInputStreamContent. If the specific implementation will return true for #retrySupported() this should be a factory function which will create a new InputStream from the source data whenever invoked.
