[BUG] np.array(hub.read(path)) fails if path is remote url

[farizrahman4u]

🐛🐛 Bug Report

⚗️ Current Behavior

image = hub.read("https://picsum.photos/200/300")
print(np.array(image))  # >> fails with file not found error

Expected behavior/code The remote image should be downloaded and decompressed

🧰 Possible Solution

Check if path is a remote path before calling Pillow here: https://github.com/activeloopai/Hub/blob/main/hub/core/sample.py#L236 (If remote path, read the bytes and then pass the bytes to pillow.)
