New Policy for StandardZRS Account Creations to require Smart Tier if request is > 2025-08-01

[kah279]

This policy ensures that all Standard Zone-Redundant Storage (ZRS) accounts use the Smart access tier. The Smart tier automatically optimizes storage costs by intelligently moving data between access tiers based on access patterns. It targets storage accounts with Standard_ZRS, Standard_GZRS, and Standard_RAGZRS SKUs of kind StorageV2 or BlobStorage.
