Description
### Description
Cmdlets are generated by autorest.powershell provides the parameter `-DefaultProfile`, which actually are not functional actually.
And below are some **workarounds**.
1. You use may `set-azcontext` to switch the context instead of using `-DefaultProfile`.
2. If you just need to specify the subscription. you may use the `-SubscriptionId` parameters, which are supported by those autogen cmdlets.
Steps that will be taken considering removing those un-functional `-DefaultProfile` are breaking changes even if they are not functional
1. Add a warning message when `-DefaultProfile` is used to tell users the parameter is not functional and will be removed
2. Remove those `-DefaultProfile`
3. Add them back if `-DefaultProfile` is supported by the generator autorest.powershell.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the generated cmdlets and the linked autorest.powershell feature request (issue 1143) to determine generator support for -DefaultProfile. Done means unsupported parameters warn before removal, supported ones can be restored, and the breaking-change sequence is handled across generated cmdlets.
