Description

**Related command**
`az deployment group create`

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
I don't want to parse the `--what-if` text output.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
Add an additional flag to `az deployment group create` to control `--what-if` output. Return an integer indicating the result rather than text. For example, like Terraform's `-detail-exitcode` parameter.
```
0 = Succeeded with empty diff (no changes)
1 = Error
2 = Succeeded with non-empty diff (changes present)
```
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Parsing the output with a script, which is pretty ugly.
