Implement full smart retry support for structured message decoder with streaming validation

This commit completes the smart retry implementation for structured message decoding:

1. Refactored StatefulStructuredMessageDecoder to support true streaming:
   - Processes data incrementally using decoder.decode(buffer, size)
   - Validates segment checksums as complete segments are received
   - Tracks both encoded and decoded byte positions
   - Maintains pending buffer for incomplete segments across chunks

2. Enhanced StorageContentValidationDecoderPolicy:
   - Stores decoder state in context after processing for retry continuity
   - Updated DecodedResponse to include decoder reference
   - Enables policy to maintain state across network interruptions

3. Updated BlobAsyncClientBase retry logic:
   - Preserves decoder state in retry context
   - Ensures decoder continues from correct position on network faults
   - Validates all received segments before retry
   - Maintains checksum validation state across retries

The implementation now supports:
- Incremental segment-by-segment validation
- Mid-stream retry with state preservation
- Accurate offset tracking for both encoded and decoded positions
- Checksum validation of all received data before retry
- No data loss or corruption on network faults

This matches the smart retry pattern used by BlobDecryptionPolicy while being adapted
for the structured message format's segment-based architecture.
