storage: binary size increase by 20Mb after the commit 9ad83248a7049c82580bc45d9685c329811bce88

We at VictoriaMetrics use cloud.google.com/go/storage package here for interaction with from Google Storage.
This dependency increased VictoriaMetrics backup/restore binaries size by 20Mb after we upgraded cloud.google.com/go/storage dependency from v1.43.0 to v1.44.0+ . This is more than 25% of binary size increase. We try hard keeping dependency bloat at minimum - see https://valyala.medium.com/stripping-dependency-bloat-in-victoriametrics-docker-image-983fb5912b0d . So it would be great if you could reduce the storage dependency size to pre-v1.44.0 sizes.

As mentioned in the linked PR and in the release notes for v1.44.0, these dependencies can be omitted (if you are not using NewGRPCClient by using the build tag disable_grpc_modules.

Does this resolve the issue for you?

Thanks for the suggestion, sorry I missed that point from PR description. Binary compiled with disable_grpc_modules is bigger by ~3Mb compared to v1.43.0 release. Which is better, but not ideal. But I think it solves problem for us.

A side note, single import of cloud.google.com/go/storage package increases binary size by ~22Mb before v1.44.0 and by ~40Mb after v1.44.0.
