Add operator<<(std::ostream&, AzSdkType)

[antkmsft]

This came up during usability studies / manually putting ourselves into customer shoes.

• There should be an overload for HttpStatusCode (casts to int)
• For DateTime (I suggest Rfc3339 with all digits, as it has fractional seconds, and gives maximum precision)
• Review if anything else needs it.
• Extensible enums probably don't, because they are strings.

We might want to include other types too like RawResponse, Url, Response<T>, Uuid, etc. It's almost equivalent to .NET's ToString() methods on types and DebuggerDisplay for ease of diagnosability while using the SDK types so users can quickly output useful string representation of such types to std::cout.

Any others come to mind @vhvb1989 and @RickWinter that could benefit from this?

I remember sometime ago @JeffreyRichter mentioned something about why these operators are better not to have.

I am adding all team to the assigner list to comment and work the designing.

JFYI, #1752 adds it for DateTime.

JFYI, #1752 adds it for DateTime.

Please do that in a separate PR.

@ahsonkhan @antkmsft This seems like a reasonable feature to add in the future. Is there any class that wouldn't work with this feature in the future.

[antkmsft]

We can add it later, if we don't do it today, it will not prevent us from adding it in the future.
