HADOOP-17475. ABFS : add high performance listStatusIterator (#2548)

The ABFS connector now implements listStatusIterator() with
asynchronous prefetching of the next page(s) of results.
For listing large directories this can provide tangible speedups.

If for any reason this needs to be disabled, set
fs.azure.enable.abfslistiterator to false.
