azureblob: document container level SAS URL from root now needs container 

In 8a0775ce3c which was released in v1.49.0 we inadvertently
stopped SAS URLs working from the root without a container name.

Previously to this change you could use `rclone mount azsas:` and it
would actually be equivalent to `rclone mount azsas:container`. After
this change, only `rclone mount azsas:container` will work, `rclone
mount azsas:` will have a directory in the root called "container".

After some discussion it was decided not to revert this change as the
current behaviour is more logical and in line with the similar
behaviour for the b2 backend.

Instead the documentation was updated to show exactly how container
level SAS URLs behave.

Fixes #4028

Since container name already exists in SAS URL, you can leave it empty as well.
You can also list the single container from the root. This will only
show the container specified by the SAS URL.
However these will not work
$ rclone lsd azureblob:
container/
Note that you can't see or access any other containers - this will
fail
rclone lsd azureblob:
rclone ls azureblob:othercontainer
This would be useful for temporarily allowing third parties access to a single container or putting credentials into an untrusted environment.
