 - Removed `Context::GetApplicationContext()` in favor of a new static data member `Context::ApplicationContext`.
 - Renamed `Request::IsDownloadViaStream()` to `IsBufferedDownload()`.
+- Removed the `Azure::Core::Http::Request` ctor overload that takes both a `bodyStream` and a `bufferedDownload` boolean since it is not useful.
