Replace file objects used as function arguments

By replacing file objects passed as function arguments with
the read file content, we simplify temporary file objects
life cycle management. Temporary files are handled in a single
function.  This is done for metadata files, which
are fully read into memory right after download, anyway.

Same is not true for target files which preferably should be
treated in chunks so targets download and verification still
deal with file objects. _check_hashes is split in two functions,
one dealing correctly with file objects and one using directly
file content.
