Description

Now that we have the CloudPath factory on the client, it can be nice to have a scoped backend that you don't have to worry about conflicting with other backends.

This may be as easy as defining __enter__ and __exit__, but we should think if there are any resources that would be scoped to the context. Might be more relevant in backends/clients with persistent connections, etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement enter and exit methods on backend/client classes to support context manager usage. Consider whether any resources (e.g., persistent connections) should be scoped to the context.
