Failing to specify an 'entityPath' in a connection string results in an unintuitive error #222

If you specify a connection string that does not have an EntityPath=<event hub name key/value you get this error:

*Error{Condition: amqp:internal-error, Description: The service was unable to process the request; please retry the operation.

Which doesn't really tell you what you've done wrong. We can do a cursory check on the string to make sure that EntityPath is specified to avoid surfacing this error.

In other track 2 libraries we actually allow a second form where you can specify a broker-level connection string and then the eventhub is a separate parameter. This could be a nicer way to fix this.

Definitely beneficial to fix that in the client, but would be more impactful to fix that in the service.
