[Shell] Azure CLI receives corrupted arguments in PowerShell

[jiasli]

Describe the bug

When invoking az in PowerShell, due to the known issue of PowerShell PowerShell/PowerShell#1995, arguments passed to Azure CLI may get corrupted. For example, literal double quotes (") are lost:

# PowerShell
> az '{"signInAudience":"AzureADAndMicrosoftAccounts"}' --debug
Command arguments: ['{signInAudience:AzureADAndMicrosoftAccounts}', '--debug']

This contradicts the behavior of Bash:

# Bash
$ az '{"signInAudience":"AzureADAndMicrosoftAccounts"}' --debug
Command arguments: ['{"signInAudience":"AzureADAndMicrosoftAccounts"}', '--debug']

Impact

This is mainly affecting

• passing JSON as an argument as in az rest --body {JSON} (Cannot change the signInAudience using the Microsoft Graph API #15512)

  # not working
  az rest ... --body '{"signInAudience":"AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount"}'
  # working
  az rest ... --body '{\"signInAudience\":\"AzureADandPersonalMicrosoftAccount\"}'

• using JMESPATH --query (az version --query "azure-cli" should return version number and not throw error #13152)

  # not working
  az version --query '"azure-cli"'
  # working
  az version --query '\"azure-cli\"'
