[Azure Blob Storage SDK] Client classes marked as final - making them unable to mock

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Most (if not all) of the Azure Blob Storage SDK clients are marked as final, making it not possible (or overcomplicated) to write the tests with mocked client layer (e.g. with Mockito) - which seems to be a common use case.

Version

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-storage-blob</artifactId>
    <version>12.0.0-preview.2</version>
</dependency>

Solution Make the client classes non-final or provide client interfaces.

@Silvatre #5017 has discussions and potential solutions for mocking. It is missing direct mention for mocking final class and clients, I will work with @srnagar to add recommendations for those cases.
