### Describe Your Changes
Add a note to clarify usage of azure credentials when multiple
credentials are available.
The user is required to specify AZURE_CLIENT_ID as otherwise Azure API
will return an error: "Multiple user assigned identities exist, please
specify the clientId / resourceId of the identity in the token request"

- 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.

### 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

### Checklist
The following checks are **mandatory**:
- [x] My change adheres [VictoriaMetrics contributing
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.

(cherry picked from commit ac836bcf6c)
Using `sh` or `console` formatting doesn't do word-breaking on render. This makes flags description
harder to read, as users need to scroll the web page horizontally.
Removing the formatting renders the description with normal word-breaking.
(cherry picked from commit 9bedbcfa2f)
It has been appeared that there are VictoriaMetrics users, who rely on the fact that
VictoriaMetrics components were closing incoming connections to -httpListenAddr every 2 minutes
by default. So let's return back this value by default in order to fix the breaking change
made at d8c1db7953 .

Examples:
1) -metricsAuthKey=file:///abs/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given absolute filepath
2) -metricsAuthKey=file://./relative/path/to/file - reads flag value from the given relative filepath
3) -metricsAuthKey=http://some-host/some/path?query_arg=abc - reads flag value from the given url
The flag value is automatically updated when the file contents changes.
Add docs to explain that `latest` backup folder can be accessed
more frequently than others. Hence, it is recommended to keep it
on storages with low access price.

support `Strict-Transport-Security`, `Content-Security-Policy` and `X-Frame-Options`
HTTP headers in all VictoriaMetrics components.
The values for headers can be specified by users via the following flags:
`-http.header.hsts`, `-http.header.csp` and `-http.header.frameOptions`.

- Make more clear the docs at docs/enterprise.md, so readers could figure out faster
on how to obtain enterprise key and how to pass it to VictoriaMetrics Enterprise components.
- Fix examples at docs/enterprise.md, which were referring to non-existing `-license-file` command-line flag.
The `-licenseFile` command-line flag must be used instead.
- Improve the description of `-license*` command-line flags, so users could understand
faster how to use them.
- Improve the warning message, which is emitted when the deprecated -eula command-line flag is passed,
so the user could figure out how to switch faster to -license* command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components with both -license and -licenseFile command-line flags.
- Disallow running VictoriaMetrics components when -licensFile points to an empty file.
- Consistently use the phrase "This flag is available only in Enterprise binaries" across
all the enterprise-specific command-line flags.
- Remove unneeded level of indirection for `noLicenseMessage` and `expiredMessage` string contants
in order to improve code readability and maintainability.
- Remove unneded `return` statements after `logger.Fatalf()` calls, since these calls exit the app and never return.
- Make sure that the info log message about successful license verification is emitted
when the license is verified successfully. Previously the error message could be logged
when the license payload is invalid or if it misses some required features.
