Clarify that Azure Blob storage requires consolidated form

Users mistakenly think they can use the storage-specific settings and
plug in Azure connection settings. This doesn't work because Workhorse
uses a single credential to access multiple containers (aka buckets).

blobs, GitLab standardizes on the term `bucket`. Be sure to configure
Azure container names in the `bucket` settings.
Azure Blob storage can only be used with the [consolidated form](#consolidated-object-storage-configuration)
because a single set of credentials are used to access multiple
containers. The [storage-specific form](#storage-specific-configuration)
is not supported. For more details, see [how to transition to consolidated form](#transition-to-consolidated-form).
The following are the valid connection parameters for Azure. Read the
[Azure Blob storage documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/storage-blobs-introduction)
to learn more.
