Use DefaultAzureCredential for azure storage and discourage connectionString

  1. To use DefaultAzureCredential, we must pass in a URI to the storage account. There is no constructor with a connection string.
  2. Using shared keys is highly discouraged by all the docs. I can provide links if needed.
  3. Managed Identities "just work"
  4. By default, DefaultAzureCredential does not do interactive authentication.
  5. Much of the AzureCredential configuration can be accomplished with environmental variables. I didn't come up with a strategy to use a different AzureCredential per source. This could be done with some more changes to the config files but I suspect YAGNI :-)

I needed to change many files to get a hold of this logger. I can make this a separate PR if needed.

I'll run the functional tests on the CI and verify that the tests with a connection string are still working.
