sources/azure: report failures to host via kvp (#2136)

Azure can report provisioning failures via the Wireserver health
endpoint.  However, in the event of networking failures or Wireserver
issues, this report cannot be made and the VM will result in an OS
provisioning timeout and a generic error is presented to the user.

Report the failure via KVP using the "PROVISIONING_REPORT" key so
that the host can relay the provisioning error report to the user
when the VM fails to provision.

The format used is subject to change and/or removal.
