### Description

Enable support for the S3 canned ACL BUCKET\_OWNER\_FULL\_CONTROL on output objects in the Bitmovin API and SDKs. The destination bucket’s policy requires uploads to include bucket-owner-full-control; however, current SDKs only expose PUBLIC\_READ and PRIVATE, and attempts to set BUCKET\_OWNER\_FULL\_CONTROL fail validation. This blocks direct writes to the destination bucket and forces a two‑stage workflow (write to an intermediary bucket, then copy/push to the destination), adding latency, cost, operational overhead, and extra failure points. Native support would allow the encoder to set the ACL at upload time, satisfying the bucket policy and eliminating the intermediary step.
