Publish to generic destinations using rclone

Description

It would be useful to be able to publish my quarto documents to my own website, which can be accessed via WebDAV.

rclone allows file upload/synching to many cloud services, including WebDAV.

If quarto publish had an rclone backend, it would automatically enable publishing to many other services without having to write a special case for each in quarto?

Note that meanwhile it might come in the future, you can use post-render script to achieve whatever you want for example using rclone.

quarto publish is not intended to be a comprehensive way to render and publish Quarto documents.
It is mostly an helper command which wrap quarto render and a post process script to publish.
Maintaining something that is not used is not really practical.
Users that used/know other services usually also know how to publish to them, thus they can be responsible of writing their publishing script which can be added as a post-render script in Quarto YAML.
