Handle TOCTOU in azure objstorage add()
ClosedPublic

Details

Summary

There's an unavoidable race condition in the azure objstorage between the
existence check and upload. When this race condition happens and we upload the
same blob twice, one of the uploads is rejected with a ResourceExistsError.

This change brings the azure objstorage back to idempotence.

Fixes sentry error SWH-STORAGE-G6.

Test Plan

new tox test added, adding the same object twice (and forcing the
ResourceExistsError).
