Description

### Description

AzAD cmdlets (ie. Get-AzADUser) only use the currently set context and ignore -DefaultProfile parameter.

We do a lot of parallel work on different threads against different tenants and subscriptions, which means we can't use Set-AzContext because it updates the context on all threads. This means it is currently impossible for us to use AzAD cmdlets in our automation.

### Issue script & Debug output

```PowerShell
PS C:\Users\kwill> Get-AzADUser -First 2 -DefaultProfile $ctxFDPO
PS C:\Users\kwill> Get-AzADUser -First 2 -DefaultProfile $ctxTarget

$ctxFDPO and $ctxTarget are PSAzureContext objects for 2 different tenants. The above commands output the same users, using whatever tenant is currently set by Set-AzContext.
```
