Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
When creating a variable-group, I would like to add a multi-line description. I have tried the following
```ps1
# Using \n: Results in "line 1\n Line2"
az pipelines variable-group create --name 'myVariableGroup' --variables 'hello=world' --description "line 1\n Line2"
# Using \\n: Results in "line 1\\n Line2"
az pipelines variable-group create --name 'myVariableGroup' --variables 'hello=world' --description "line 1\n Line2"
# Using `n: Results in "line 1"
az pipelines variable-group create --name 'myVariableGroup' --variables 'hello=world' --description "line 1`nLine2"
# Using --description twice: Results in "line2"
az pipelines variable-group create --name 'myVariableGroup' --variables 'hello=world' --description "line 1" --description "Line2"
# Using `n: Results in error - I suspect the `n is treated as an enter / end of command.
az pipelines variable-group create --name 'myVariableGroup' --description "line 1`nLine2" --variables 'hello=world'
```
**Describe the solution you'd like**
I would like the `--description` to honor either `\n` or support multi-line comments in any way.
