open_url for opening non-git files

See original GitHub issue

There is get and get-url in cli, get-url can download files that are not necessary in dvc or git repo. And there is only open in dvc.api. It would be nice to have open_url, which operates like get-url

This seems related to a proposal from @efiop in https://github.com/iterative/dvc/issues/6494#issuecomment-906600254. If we make it so that dvc get can get either a repo file or any other URL, we could do something similar in the API.

@pared I already tried to use api.get_url before I read it’s docs 😃 @efiop not sure. My case is that I know I have a file that is stored with dvc, but I only have it’s url (not to actual file on dvc remote). And api.open is tied to repo, so I need to extract it from my url somehow. And get-url seems to already have the same logic (if the file is there, download it, if not, do the dvc magic and get it from remote)
