Made an update to AzBlobDeleteFast. Noticed a bottleneck on blob enumeration, so enabled specifying multiple "folder" prefixes to fan out the enumeration. Improved performance pretty much linearly to the number of blob "folders" you can specify, topped out at 718k deletions per minute.

Install code CLI w/ tunnel service *in* wsl (not on host) 5. Connect for agents view and devcontainers!
