### Describe Your Changes
This helps to improve reliability of performing backups in environments
with unreliable connection and tolerate temporary errors at S3 provider
side.
See: https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/6732
Default retry timeout is up to 3 minutes to make this consistent with
the same configuration for GCS:

- Mention that credentials can be configured via env variables at both vmbackup and vmrestore docs.
- Make clear that the AZURE_STORAGE_DOMAIN env var is optional at https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/#providing-credentials-via-env-variables
- Use string literals as is for env variable names instead of indirecting them via string constants.
This makes easier to read and understand the code. These environment variable names aren't going to change
in the future, so there is no sense in hiding them under string constants with some other names.
- Refer to https://docs.victoriametrics.com/vmbackup/#providing-credentials-via-env-variables in error messages
when auth creds are improperly configured. This should simplify figuring out how to fix the error.
- Simplify the code a bit at FS.newClient(), so it is easier to follow it now.
While at it, remove the check when superflouos environment variables are set, since it is too fragile
and it looks like it doesn't help properly configuring vmbackup / vmrestore.
- Remove envLookuper indirection - just use 'func(name string) (string, bool)' type inline.
This simplifies code reading and understanding.
- Split TestFSInit() into TestFSInit_Failure() and TestFSInit_Success(). This simplifies the test code,
so it should be easier to maintain in the future.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/issues/5984
This makes test code more clear and reduces the number of code lines by 500.
This also simplifies debugging tests. See https://itnext.io/f-tests-as-a-replacement-for-table-driven-tests-in-go-8814a8b19e9e
While at it, consistently use t.Fatal* instead of t.Error* across tests, since t.Error*
requires more boilerplate code, which can result in additional bugs inside tests.
While t.Error* allows writing logging errors for the same, this doesn't simplify fixing
broken tests most of the time.

### Describe Your Changes
These changes support using Azure Managed Identity for the `vmbackup`
utility. It adds two new environment variables:
* `AZURE_USE_DEFAULT_CREDENTIAL`: Instructs the `vmbackup` utility to
build a connection using the [Azure Default
Credential](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/sdk/azidentity@v1.5.2#NewDefaultAzureCredential)
mode. This causes the Azure SDK to check for a variety of environment
variables to try and make a connection. By default, it tries to use
managed identity if that is set up.
This will close

guidelines](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/contributing/).
### Testing
However you normally test the `vmbackup` utility using Azure Blob should
continue to work without any changes. The set up for that is environment
specific and not listed out here.
Once regression testing has been done you can set up [Azure Managed
Identity](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/identity/managed-identities-azure-resources/overview)
so your resource (AKS, VM, etc), can use that credential method. Once it
is set up, update your environment variables according to the updated
documentation.
I added unit tests to the `FS.Init` function, then made my changes, then
updated the unit tests to capture the new branches.
I tested this in our environment, but with SAS token auth and managed
identity and it works as expected.

This solves two issues:
1. The vm_backups_uploaded_bytes_total metric will grow more smoothly
2. This prevents from int overflow at metrics.Counter.Add() when uploading files bigger than 2GiB
This allows removing importing unneeded command-line flags into binaries, which import lib/storage,
which, in turn, was importing lib/snapshot in order to use Time, Validate and NewName functions.

Updates https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/VictoriaMetrics/pull/5738
E.g. replace `fs.Dir + filePath` with `path.Join(fs.Dir, filePath)`
The fs.Dir is guaranteed to end with slash - see Init() functions.
The filePath may start with slash. If it starts with slash, then `fs.Dir + filePath` constructs
an incorrect path with double slashes.
path.Join() properly substitutes duplicate slashes with a single slash in this case.
While at it, also substitute incorrect usage of filepath.Join() with path.Join()
for constructing paths to object storage systems, which expect forward slashes in paths.
filepath.Join() substittues forward slashes with backslashes on Windows, so this may break
creating or managing backups from Windows.

Copying of parts.json is required because `part.key()` comparison can create same key value for files with different contents. This will result in inconsistent backup being created or restored.

Callers of CreateFlockFile log the returned err and exit.
It is better to log the error inside the MustCreateFlockFile together with the path
to the specified directory and the call stack. This simplifies
the code at the callers' side while leaving the debuggability at the same level.
Callers of these functions log the returned error and then exit. The returned error already contains the path
to directory, which was failed to be created. So let's just log the error together with the call stack
inside these functions. This leaves the debuggability of the returned error at the same level
while allows simplifying the code at callers' side.
While at it, properly use MustMkdirFailIfExist instead of MustMkdirIfNotExist inside inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDisk().
It is expected that the inmemoryPart.MustStoreToDick() must fail if there is already a directory under the given path.
This makes it easier to understand exact point in time which is included in this backup.
