Description

### Which service(blob, file, queue) does this issue concern?
blob

### Which version of the SDK was used? Please provide the output of `pip freeze`.
azure-batch==6.0.0
azure-common==1.1.18
azure-storage-blob==1.4.0
azure-storage-common==1.4.0
azure-storage-file==1.4.0

### What problem was encountered?
I defined a retry callback and set client.retry to use it. After the first retry callback on the error being handled (status=409), wherein my callback returned 10, I get the error shown below.

### Analysis
_perform_request seems to be treating context.count field as a non-required but recognized property (line 391), but then references it unconditionally (line 418). If it is going to be referenced like this, it should probably just become a standard property of RetryContext class. As it is, its hard for a developer writing their own retry callback to know about this dependency.

### Stack Trace

retry_context.count,
AttributeError: 'RetryContext' object has no attribute 'count'

### Have you found a mitigation/solution?
Once you know to do it, a "count" property set to 0 can just be created on the retry_context argument of the custom retry callback.
