[BUG] GraalVM Netty Support NoClassDefFoundError due to Netty change

[melloware]

Describe the bug Use GraalVM native image with Netty 4.1.78, Azure Blob 12.18.0, Azure GraalVM suport 1.0.0-beta.2 is broken with...

com.azure.aot.graalvm.support.netty.implementation.features.TargetIoNettyUtilConcurrentScheduledFutureTask.initialNanoTime() com.oracle.svm.core.util.UserError$UserException: Could not find target method: static long

Netty 4.1.78 changed ScheduledFutureTask with this commit: https://github.com/netty/netty/commit/c18fc2bc68c08805b2553336a3bf02f0c8c50972

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.azure</groupId>
    <artifactId>azure-aot-graalvm-support-netty</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0-beta.2</version>
</dependency>

So these lines need to be updated: https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-java/blob/430d546b6b136a150c2a77f4502a4dc174362c8b/sdk/aot/azure-aot-graalvm-support-netty/src/main/java/com/azure/aot/graalvm/support/netty/implementation/features/NettySubstitutions.java#L449-L480

Thank you for reporting this issue, @melloware. @srnagar could you please take a look?

[JonathanGiles]

Thank you for the bug report @melloware - we will resolve this as we work towards getting our GraalVM support officially in place. Appreciate your feedback - please keep it coming!

[melloware]

@JonathanGiles that is fantastic! I know Netty 5.0 is working on better GraalVM support so hopefully 5.0 will also alleviate your need for these shims. But really appreciate the effort!
