Set the default mode to PULL.

Brian Paul Bockelman requested to merge bbockelm/gfal2:default_pull_mode into develop

When PULL mode is used, the destination of the COPY request will move the file using GET. Since GET is idempotent, we can do this multiple times - meaning PULL mode can be used to implement multiple TCP streams during transfer (PUSH mode cannot since PUT doesn't support byte ranges).

Hence, this change allows implementation (such as XRootD) to better take advantage of multi-streaming capabilities.
