Improve validation check for Azure configuration (elastic#20389)

A blob container name must be between 3 and 63 characters in length;
start with a letter or number; and contain only letters, numbers, and
the hyphen. All letters used in blob container names must be
lowercase.  Added validation to make sure the storage container name
meets those requirements.

Closes elastic#20369

(cherry picked from commit 7913005)
