Azurite blob service does not start automatically when debugging

Expected Behavior *

When you click on Run / Test function, we should start the Azurite blob service automatically if it is not running

Actual Behavior *

Function will hang for a while trying to reach blob storage service (If using "AzureWebJobsStorage": "UseDevelopmentStorage=true") that is the default

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make sure that blob service in Azurite is not running
2. Click on Run/Test function

The above error will happen. If you manually start the blob service in VSCode, the error will not happen when run again.

This is particularly annoying because if you actually start Azurite ahead of time you get a bunch of "azurite already running" warnings 😦
