Bug in azure-storage-blob

[Juliehzl]

As shown in model serialization for ContentSettings， the required type for content_md5 is str as shown below:

azure-sdk-for-python/sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob/azure/storage/blob/_models.py

Line 621 in 00c9044

:param str content_md5:

But when uploading, content_md5 needs to be converted to bytearray and the following code would cause a bug when converting a string to bytearray.

azure-sdk-for-python/sdk/storage/azure-storage-blob/azure/storage/blob/_blob_client.py

Line 382 in 00c9044

blob_content_md5=bytearray(content_settings.content_md5) if content_settings.content_md5 else None,

blob_content_md5=bytearray(content_settings.content_md5) if content_settings.content_md5 else None,
TypeError: string argument without an encoding

This would cause error when uploading with content_md5. Please fix asap.

Hi, I'm new to this. I searched online for this issue and I found out that the bytearray() function needs a second argument specifying the type of encoding required when the source is a string. I hope this solves this issue.
