[FEATURE REQ] Provide access to IServiceProvider in AddAzureClients method.

Library or service name. Microsoft.Extensions.Azure

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There is no way in the AddAzureClients method to retrieve a class already registered (with the GetService or GetRequiredService methods of IServiceProvider). That is preventing us to retrieve a registered IOptions configuration. In an ASP.NET Core application, we are often grouping settings in IOptions configuration classes that are registered in depencency injection. But we can’t use them here and have to manually retrieve the expected settings from the Configuration object. Moreover with Azure Functions DI, there is currently no direct access to IConfiguration in FunctionStartup class, so it’s not possible to use AddAzureClients.

What feature would you like to get added? What problem is it solving? ServiceProvider shoud be available as a property of AzureClientFactoryBuilder or there should be an override to Add.AzureClients that accept a Action<AzureClientFactoryBuilder, IServiceProvider>.

I was thinking about something like

services.AddAzureClients(builder =>

builder.AddClient<SomeClient>((options, provider) => new SomeClient(...., options));

);

It would work for client of any type and allow you to use service provider as part of client construction.
