Spike: Can we deploy the agent using an Azure ARM template and just the agent nuget via PackageReference

[jaffinito]

We received a customer report that we don't support PackageReference for deploying the agent in a ticket. This resulted in them using the site extension instead (with some other unrelated issues).

The purpose of this spike is to determine if we can deploy to Azure using an ARM template with the agent installed using PackageReference Nuget.

SO on ARM templates: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40507711/how-do-i-automatically-install-new-relic-extension-using-azure-arm-template

Strech goal: Test this with Azure websites just to be sure - would be real surprised if this didn't work.

Results: If deploying to ARM via PackageReference, we want to document this and while we are doing that, fill out the docs on how to use ARM templates with our agent. This is work is captured in: #686 686

If this doesn't work, create a spike to dig into why this doesn't work.
