Description

Using the azure-arm builder, a Disk is created with "Public Endpoint" enabled, even when building on a private network.

It would be great to have a config option to make it private (and make that the default).

Use Case(s)

Organisations with controls to prevent public disks being created.

Potential configuration

Either add an option to allow the disk to be public, but default to private:

   "builders": [
        {
            "type": "azure-arm",
            ...
            "pubic_disk_access": true
        }
   ]

Or, hard code it to private (I can't think of a case where it would need to be public).

Maybe even the "Deny All" option would work, I'm not quite sure if private access is even required for mounting the disk to a VM.

Having looked a bit deeper, I can't even see how to change that setting via the Azure API. Maybe a Disk needs to be specifically created, and attached to the VM.
