Original description from User Story 25369:

Azure CLI team:

Could you help vendor(copy) the Azure-related packages to the quantum extensions' vendor directory?

We require that all Azure-related packages be directly copied to the vendor directory; otherwise, there might be conflicts with the dependencies in the main repo.

This may cause users to be unable to use the extension, and may also cause the automatic update of the extension documentation to fail.

The quantum extension has directly set azure-storage-blob as a dependency: link to the setup.py file.

This is the PR submitted by the k8s-runtime team. You can refer to it to make the necessary modifications.

Changes for this PR:

• Copy the azure.storage.blob files to src\quantum\azext_quantum\vendored_sdks\azure_storage_blob
• Modify the associated from ... import statement in src\quantum\azext_quantum\_storage.py
• Remove the DEPENDENCIES statement in src\quantum\setup.py
• Create a wiki page to explain how to update vendored_sdks\azure_storage_blob in the future.

New wiki: How to update the Azure storage blob client
[This wiki was subsequently expanded and renamed "How to update the vendored_sdks clients", see PR 8242]

No changes will be perceived by customers.
A Quantum CLI extension release will follow this PR in a subsequent Release PR.
