Azure-sdk-for-python: Azure Blob does not expose a close() method

[timuralp]

Currently, as far as I can tell, there is no way to close the sockets opened by azure.storage.blob.BlobServiceClient. The underlying PipelineClient has a close() method (plumbed all the way down to requests and urllib3), but there is no public way to reach it (including deleting the azure.storage.blob.BlobServiceClient object).

To call close on the underlying requests session, I've found I have to call: <BlobServiceClient>._client._client.close(). The <PipelineClient>.close() method should be propagated in the generated _azure_blob_storage.py and then adding close() to the StorageAccountHostsMixin would resolve this issue. Unfortunately, I can't submit a PR to do this, as I can't affect the generated code.
