Issue Description

The AzureFileCopyV4 task has poor documentation on working with its output variables. In v3, the variables outputted were task inputs. In v4, they are created as output variables (and not defined in the task ui). The documentation between v3 and v4 does not change in any way to reflect this.

You have to know to dig into the task code to find out that the output variables are titled:

• StorageContainerUri
• StorageContainerSasToken

Following the output variables documentation, we can then reference the variables like so:

- task: AzureFileCopy@4
  inputs:
    SourcePath: 'Readme.md'
    azureSubscription: 'Test'
    Destination: 'AzureBlob'
    storage: 'azdo'
    ContainerName: 'workshops'
    BlobPrefix: ''
  name: AzureFileCopy
- script: | 
    echo $(AzureFileCopy.StorageContainerUri)
    echo $(AzureFileCopy.StorageContainerSasToken)

I can submit a PR for the readme update if desired. Thanks
