Allow setting custom RoowKey values

[manekinekko]

This would be simple to add. Here are the steps:

1. Update https://github.com/nestjs/azure-database/blob/master/lib/table-storage/azure-table.repository.ts#L107 to:

async create(entity: T, rowKeyValue?: string): Promise<T> {

2. Update https://github.com/nestjs/azure-database/blob/master/lib/table-storage/azure-table.repository.ts#L110 to:

entity = AzureEntityMapper.createEntity<T>(entity, rowKeyValue );

3. update specs files.

Doing this now, but even if we include rowKeyValue into the create function, the static createEntity in https://github.com/nestjs/azure-database/blob/master/lib/table-storage/azure-table.mapper.ts#L36 needs to be updated as well, yes? otherwise it's just going to replace rowKeyValue with a GUID...

my other thought was simply modifying

azure-database/lib/table-storage/azure-table.mapper.ts

Line 36 in 03ac8b3

static createEntity<D>(partialDto: Partial<AzureEntityMapper>, rowKeyValue = generateUuid()) {

to

static createEntity(partialDto, rowKeyValue) {

and updating

azure-database/lib/table-storage/azure-table.mapper.ts

Line 49 in 03ac8b3

entityDescriptor.RowKey._ = rowKeyValue;

to:

 if (null == partialDto.RowKey) {
      entityDescriptor.RowKey._ = rowKeyValue
  }
  else {
      entityDescriptor.RowKey._  = partialDto.RowKey;
  }

This way, we can define a RowKey in the entity / DTO which will take precedence, or if we don't implicitly define a RowKey a GUID will be created.

Update: looks like we were both on the same correct path - there were a few extra changes required. Submitting PR now :)
