Unused features in AzureDataStore?

Hi,

I'm in the process of updating AzureDataStore to use the latest Azure SDK -
which requires almost a complete rewrite of AzureBlobStoreBackend.  See
OAK-8105.

In doing this I'm seeing some minor features in the old implementation that
do not appear to have a direct counterpart in the new SDK.  So far there
are two that stand out:
- Allowing the use of a proxy (proxy host and port settings) to be used to
communicate with the cloud storage
- Allowing the definition of the connection using a shared-access signature
rather than via account name and account key

Does anyone know if these features are actually used?  I don't wish to
spuriously deprecate features, especially if they are used in the wild.
However, there is already a serious issue with Azure (OAK-8104) waiting on
this update.
