Clemens Wolff 6882a781a4 Add Azure Blob Storage remote
This change adds a new cloud remote based on Azure Blob Storage [1] and
the azure-storage-blob SDK [2].

The implementation closely follows the patterns laid out by the existing
cloud remotes (AWS and GCP). Notable differences include:

- No use of a lock in the progress-bar callback and no requirement to
  look up total transfer size ahead of time: the Azure Storage SDK
  provides the total transfer bytes and current transfer offset in its
  progress callback.

- When `exists` is called, check the existence of every blob instead of
  listing the entire container. Container list operations can be
  expensive so unless the number of checked files is very large, making
  separate requests is likely going to be more efficient.

- For increased flexibility, access credentials for the Azure Storage
  backend can be provided either connection-string style via the remote
  URL or via environment variables. The Azure Storage backend can be
  emulated via Azurite [3].

Data Version Control or DVC is an open source tool for data science projects. 
It helps data scientists manage their code and data together in a simple form of Git-like commands.

#. `Git-annex <https://git-annex.branchable.com/>`_ - DVC uses the idea of storing the content of large files (that you don't want to see in your Git repository) in a local key-value store and uses file hardlinks/symlinks instead of the copying actual files.
#. `Git-LFS <https://git-lfs.github.com/>`_.
#. Makefile (and it's analogues). DVC tracks dependencies (DAG). 
#. `Workflow Management Systems <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workflow_management_system>`_. DVC is workflow management system designed specificaly to manage machine learning experiments. DVC was built on top of Git.

DVC is compatible with Git for storing code and the dependency graph (DAG), but not data files cache.
Data files caches can be transferred separately - now data cache transfer throught AWS S3, Azure Blob Storage and GCP storge are supported.
