Azure Blob Lease implementation

[madelson]

@dazinator I have an implementation of this built out in the working branch for 2.0 (https://github.com/madelson/DistributedLock/tree/release-2.0/DistributedLock.Azure). If you'd be interested in using it I can look into publishing a prerelease version.

[dazinator]

@madelson You should be able to run Azure Storage emulator locally, and then develop against that: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/common/storage-use-emulator

[madelson]

@dazinator do you have experience working with these, and in particular creating an environment for testing the implementation? Is there a way to run a mock version of blob storage locally or would it need to be tested through an actual Azure account?

[dazinator]

@madelson awesome! A pre-release would be good, as I can then set up some simple POC's with it.

[dazinator]

@madelson did you manage to release this in the end?

[madelson]

@dazinator sorry I completely missed your follow-up! I've published a prerelease version of the 2.0 packages. You can install the full suite with https://www.nuget.org/packages/DistributedLock/2.0.0-alpha01 or just the azure stuff with https://www.nuget.org/packages/DistributedLock.Azure/.

Let me know if you find any issues!
