### Expected behavior

ADAL package should not be isntalled

### Environment Summary

$ az version
{
"azure-cli": "2.61.0",
"azure-cli-core": "2.61.0",
"azure-cli-telemetry": "1.1.0",
"extensions": {}
}

### Additional context

Having an EOL package installed with the distribution introduces vulnerabilities into the environment as that package can still be referenced. This package has been EOL since December 2022

Please remove the EOL package. If, for some reason, you feel that you need to make this library available I would recommend that you put it in a separate package (e.g. az-cli-deprecated )
