lancedb-gatefixer[bot] a57fb68891 docs(python): fix Azure storage options examples (#3899)
## Summary

- document that Azure Blob Storage credentials can be passed directly
through `storage_options`
- provide valid quoted `account_name` and `account_key` examples for
both sync and async Python connections
- execute the option dictionaries during doctests so the original
unquoted-key mistake is caught

## Root cause

The historical Python storage guide used `account_name` and
`account_key` as bare identifiers in dictionary literals. Following that
example either raised `NameError` or, when those names were predefined,
produced incorrect option keys. The runtime already accepts direct Azure
credentials, but the current Python API reference did not contain a
corrected Azure example.

## Validation

- `python/.venv/bin/ruff format --check
python/python/lancedb/__init__.py`
- `python/.venv/bin/ruff check .`
- `cd python && uv run --no-sync pytest --doctest-modules
python/lancedb/__init__.py -q`
- `cd python && uv run --no-sync pytest python/tests/test_import.py -q`

Fixes #2236
