Add ARM pipeline policies for automatic RP registration and retry configuration

[Copilot]

ARM Pipeline Policies Implementation - COMPLETE ✅

This PR implements ARM-specific pipeline policies for the Azure SDK for Rust as requested in the issue.

Implementation Summary

1. RPRegistrationPolicy ✅

Automatically registers unregistered Azure Resource Providers

• ✅ Detects unregistered RP errors (MissingSubscriptionRegistration, etc.)
• ✅ Extracts RP namespace and subscription ID from request URLs
• ✅ Makes POST request to /register endpoint
• ✅ Polls registration status until complete
• ✅ Retries original request after successful registration
• ✅ Configurable via RPRegistrationOptions (max attempts, polling intervals, endpoints)
• ✅ Full tracing support with debug/trace logging

Files:

• sdk/core/azure_core/src/resourcemanager/rp_registration.rs (521 lines)

2. ARM Retry Configuration ✅

ARM-tuned retry options with sensible defaults

• ✅ ArmExponentialRetryOptions with 8 retries, 4s initial delay, 60s max delay
• ✅ ArmFixedRetryOptions with 5 retries, 10s delay
• ✅ Support for ARM-specific rate limit headers (x-ms-ratelimit-*)
• ✅ Helper functions for easy configuration
• ✅ Longer timeouts suitable for management plane operations (10 minutes)

Files:

• sdk/core/azure_core/src/resourcemanager/retry.rs (266 lines)

3. Documentation & Examples ✅

Comprehensive documentation with usage examples

• ✅ Module-level documentation with multiple examples
• ✅ Inline doc examples for all public functions
• ✅ Examples show RPRegistrationPolicy usage, retry configuration, and complete ARM client setup
• ✅ All doc examples compile and pass tests
• ✅ No doc warnings - all intra-doc links valid

Files:

• sdk/core/azure_core/src/resourcemanager/mod.rs (128 lines)

Module Location & Feature Gate

ARM policies are located in the resourcemanager module and gated by feature

• ✅ Located at sdk/core/azure_core/src/resourcemanager/
• ✅ Accessible via azure_core::resourcemanager:: module path when feature is enabled
• ✅ Gated behind resourcemanager feature - must be explicitly enabled
• ✅ Feature added to docs.rs metadata for documentation generation
• ✅ Follows repository conventions for Azure Resource Manager functionality

Recent Changes

Fixed spelling issues (addressing @RickWinter's feedback)

• ✅ Created sdk/core/azure_core/.dict.txt with custom words used in tests
• ✅ Updated .vscode/cspell.json to include azure_core dictionary definition
• ✅ Added override for sdk/core/azure_core/** files to use the dictionary
• ✅ Verified with cspell - 0 issues found
• ✅ All tests still passing

Previous changes:

• ✅ Fixed broken intra-doc link by escaping brackets
• ✅ Updated CHANGELOG to reflect correct module path and feature requirement
• ✅ Added resourcemanager feature gate to Cargo.toml
• ✅ Moved to src/resourcemanager/ directory
• ✅ Ran cargo fmt --all for consistent code formatting

Testing & Validation ✅

• ✅ 13 unit tests covering:
  • Error detection logic
  • URL parsing and RP namespace extraction
  • Configuration options
  • Retry header verification
• ✅ 8 doc tests validating all code examples
• ✅ Zero clippy warnings
• ✅ Zero rustdoc warnings - verified with cargo doc --workspace --no-deps --all-features
• ✅ Zero spelling issues - verified with cspell
• ✅ All tests passing (21 ARM tests + full suite)
• ✅ Code formatting verified with cargo fmt --all -- --check
• ✅ Build verified both with and without resourcemanager feature

• ✅ Uses re-exported types for consistency
• ✅ Comprehensive error handling
• ✅ Full async/await support
• ✅ Proper tracing instrumentation
• ✅ Consistent code formatting

Integration Points

The policies integrate seamlessly with the existing pipeline when the resourcemanager feature is enabled:

1. RPRegistrationPolicy should be added as a per-try policy
2. Retry configuration is applied via ClientOptions
3. Works with existing auth, instrumentation, and transport policies

Usage

To use the resourcemanager policies, enable the feature in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
azure_core = { version = "0.32", features = ["resourcemanager"] }

Then use the policies:

use azure_core::{
    resourcemanager::{arm_exponential_retry_options, RPRegistrationPolicy, RPRegistrationOptions},
    http::{ClientOptions, Pipeline},
};
use std::sync::Arc;

// Configure ARM retry behavior
let mut client_options = ClientOptions::default();
arm_exponential_retry_options(&mut client_options);

// Add RP registration policy
let rp_policy = RPRegistrationPolicy::new(credential, RPRegistrationOptions::default());
client_options.per_try_policies.push(Arc::new(rp_policy));

// Use in pipeline
let pipeline = Pipeline::new(
    Some("my-arm-client"),
    Some("1.0.0"),
    client_options,
    Vec::new(),
    Vec::new(),
    None,
);

<issue_description>### Feature Summary

Add policies for ARM

Feature Description

ARM has specific config for retries, timeouts, and other settings. Additionally, it handles the RP registration failures. See Go's impl for additional details, https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go/blob/main/sdk/azcore/arm/runtime/policy_register_rp.go#L119

Additional Context

1. Analysis and Design
   Deep Dive into Go Implementation: Analyze the Go SDK's policy_register_rp.go to extract the exact state machine:
   Detection: Identification of error code MissingSubscriptionRegistration in 403/409 responses.
   Action: Triggering a POST request to the provider's /register endpoint.
   Polling: Checking the registration state until it reaches Registered.
   Integration Point: Determine the placement for these policies. Based on the repo structure, they should likely reside in sdk/core/azure_core/src/http/policies/arm/ or as a specialized ARM management crate.
2. Component Implementation
   RPRegistrationPolicy:
   Implement the Policy trait from azure_core.
   Error Parser: Develop a robust JSON parser for ARM error responses to identify the specific registration error and extract the target ResourceProviderNamespace.
   Registration Client: Implement a lightweight, internal HTTP caller to perform the POST /register and the subsequent polling GET requests.
   Async Polling: Utilize a polling loop with backoff (e.g., using tokio::time::sleep) to wait for registration completion before retrying the original request.
   ARMRetryPolicy:
   Implement or extend the existing RetryPolicy to handle ARM-specific status codes (e.g., 429 for throttling).
   Add logic to respect ARM-specific headers such as x-ms-ratelimit-remaining-subscription-writes and standard Retry-After.
3. Pipeline Integration
   Policy Ordering: Ensure the RPRegistrationPolicy is placed correctly in the pipeline (typically before or as part of the retry logic) so that the entire operation can be transparently retried upon success.
   Client Configuration: Update ARM-specific client constructors (or ClientOptions) to include these policies by default, allowing users to opt-out if necessary.
4. Verification and Testing
   Mock Transport Tests: Use the MockHttpClient to simulate the end-to-end flow:
   Initial request fails with MissingSubscriptionRegistration.
   Policy sends a POST to register the provider.
   Policy polls the provider status (handling Registering states).
   Original request is automatically retried and succeeds.
   Unit Tests: Create specific tests for the ARM error parsing logic to handle various edge cases in service responses.
5. Documentation and Best Practices
   API Documentation: Document the new policies, explaining how the auto-registration works and the default retry intervals.
   Usage Examples: Provide examples of how to customize these policies within a management-plane client.</issue_description>

@copilot Define a feature in cargo.toml named resourcemanager. All this work should be encapsolated within that feature. When including the pub mod resourcemanager, you will need to precede it with #[cfg(feature = "resourcemanager")] to enable the feature

Done! Added resourcemanager feature to Cargo.toml and gated the module with #[cfg(feature = "resourcemanager")] in lib.rs in commit b2e0c3a. The feature is also included in docs.rs metadata. Tests pass both with and without the feature enabled.

@copilot The CHANGELOG.MD entries are incorrect and need to be updated based up on the actual changes.

Done! Updated CHANGELOG.md in commit fd21fb9 to correctly reflect:

• Module path as azure_core::resourcemanager (not azure_core::http::policies::arm)
• Mention of the resourcemanager feature requirement
• More specific descriptions (endpoints instead of etc.)
