SQL Firewall Rules: support for allow access to azure services

[tombuildsstuff]

Adding a disclaimer about allow access to azure services

Fixes #275

Do I read it right that Azure does not have anything like AWS' VPC Endpoints (yet) hence traffic to Azure's services has to go over the internet? 😮

VPC-esque functionality exists for some services (e.g. Redis and App Services) but are public by default for SQL / App Service / Redis / Key Vault afaik.

For SQL, if you use Express Route, there are two public IP addresses used.

You can also add a "virtual network" to the SQL server through the portal or powershell.

Hello @tombuildsstuff with regards to the earlier OP and link to https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-vnet-service-endpoint-rule-powershell

I do not see any support for adding a vnet rule to an azure SQL server - Can we add support for this by any chance? Right now I have to manually add the virtual network rule from the console to allow my servers to talk to the Azure SQL in a secure manner.

@bostonmoto would you mind opening a separate issue about this? Thanks!
