Fix CPU spinning when curl_easy_send returns 0 bytes on SSL socket writes

[harshitkr12]

Summary:

Why ? When uploading blobs to Azure Storage over HTTPS (SSL/TLS), curl_easy_send() can return CURLE_OK with 0 bytes sent. This would lead to a retry without delay immediately, causing a tight CPU-spinning loop.

What ? Added a 10ms sleep when curl_easy_send() returns CURLE_OK with 0 bytes sent to prevent rapid retries and allow the OS scheduler to run other threads.

Test Plan:

cmake --build .
ctest -R "azure-core" --output-on-failure
>> 100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 459

Fixes #6817

Thank you for your contribution @harshitkr12! We will review the pull request and get back to you soon.

Thank you! I am approving the pull request, it looks good to me. I'd like @LarryOsterman to review before merging.

@LarryOsterman, if you will be doing the next release (it is probably January 8, unless @ronniegeraghty says it is a week after), please make sure that the changelog has an entry for this fix, as well as the acknowledgements section + credit after the fix line, similar to the other fixes that we've taken. The upcoming release should probably be the beta.

OR, I think we can wait for the week of Jan 12th - it is still going to be a release week, and then I can make the release myself. I suggest we do that.

But just in case, here is the hange that we'll need for the CHANGELOG.md in core:

I am going to follow up with Rubrik in the issue letting them know how they can start consuming it right away, if they need it.

@antkmsft @RickWinter Are we good to merge this PR? @agabhin has explained why we are using sleep_for instead of yield here - https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-cpp/pull/6890#discussion_r2650347894.
