Writing profile report to an I/O stream

[dhimmel]

ProfileReport.to_file allows writing to a local path, specified as a str or pahtlib.Path:

I'd like to write an HTML report to an I/O stream (i.e. typing.IO). The motivation is to write directly to a remote filesystem opened via fsspec. It also would help users create compressed reports.

Is there a better way currently than writing to a temp file and then copying that?

It's hard for to_file API to support this feature request since it infers format from path extension. So maybe another method like to_file_stream or a format option for to_file?
