    [LIBCLOUD-724] Added storage service create and delete methods to Azu…

    Added methods to create and destroy storage services in Azure and the appropriate tests. I believe this is necessary because when you use the create_node method to create a node, it will automatically create a storage service, and when you call destroy_node, it does not delete that storage service. Consequently, you must use another tool or the GUI to clean up after node creation (or to set up for it), so providing this functionality through libcloud enhances the role libcloud can play in Azure usage. Also, I think these methods belong in the compute driver rather than in the storage driver for two reasons:
    1) These are higher level functions than is accessible through the current Azure storage driver (you must specify an already-created storage service to instantiate the driver)
    2) The Azure API lumps these functions in with other compute functions, specifically separating them from object storage functions.

> Currently, when an Azure node is destroyed using the destroy_node method, the volume is deleted, a method is available to delete the cloud service, but there is no method to delete the storage service that holds the deleted volume.
