Implement blob streaming sync with on-demand support

- Add SyncBlob method to sync service and on-demand interface
- Integrate blob sync into GetBlob API handler
- Use regclient to fetch blobs from upstream
- Automatically trigger sync when blob not found locally
- Handle sync errors gracefully with retry to local storage

This implements the core requirement from PR #3733 discussion:
check if blob exists, if not, sync from upstream on-demand.
