### Updating meta-information for bleeding-edge SNAPSHOT release.

---
This PR was generated with [Release Please](https://.com/googleapis/release-please). See [documentation](https://.com/googleapis/release-please#release-please).

Add new methods to ReadChannel to allow limiting of the channel independent of any chunk sizes or buffers.

###### Motivation
GCS supports range reads of objects, ReadChannel currently has `seek` to allow settings the begin offset, but doesn't provide limit to allow setting the end offset. The only alternative is to provide manually sized ByteBuffer(s) to read into that would have to track size externally.

This new feature allows the Channel itself to absorb the burden and prevent reading more bytes than necessary from GCS.
