Pull request overview
Enables azure-identity credentials to accept HTTP pipeline policy overrides (similar to azure.core clients), allowing callers to inject/replace built-in policies and insert custom per-call/per-retry policies.
Changes:
- Updated internal pipeline construction to accept policy instances via kwargs (e.g.,
headers_policy,per_call_policies,per_retry_policies,retry_policy). - Updated IMDS credentials (sync + async) to use a
retry_policyinstance override instead ofretry_policy_class. - Added tests and a changelog entry documenting policy overrides.
