Upgrade Faraday to Version 2.0

🖼️ Context

Upgrading the Faraday gem from version 1.0.0 to 2.0.

fix #227

✅ Approach

• In the process of upgrading the faraday gem to version 2.0 from 1.0, I need to remove the faraday_middleware as it has been deprecated based on its docs and need to use the middleware faraday-follow_redirects. Details are present in the awesome-faraday docs.
• Based on the Faraday upgrade docs, all the adapters, except for the net_http, have already been moved out and released as separate gems. So I had to add adapter faraday-net_http_persistent (gem) as part of this upgrade.

I was able to do the testing with command rake test:unit --trace. First I ran with the test with the original code (ie. faraday 1.0 and faraday-middleware) then I updated the Faraday to 2.0 and removed faraday-middleware and added necessary adapters and middlewares.

Note: For the unit test, I was getting same 135 failures before as well after the upgrades during the running of the unit test (rake test:unit --trace)

are there plans to merge this?

These are very similar changes to what was done on my own fork. However, I don't think anybody is really actively maintaining this Gem any more.

citusdata is a Microsoft organization maintaining a fork https://github.com/citusdata/azure-storage-ruby/tree/faraday2 unfortunately when I tried looking into whether the citus team could take over maintaining this gem the email thread went nowhere

We had to create our own forks in the GitHub org and take the changes as Microsoft is not maintaining this repo anymore. I would be happy if they accept this PR, at-least for the short term it will unblock many folks.

Alternatively, folks can use the below below forked repo. https://github.com/honeyankit/azure-storage-ruby
