Description
### Description
`Get-AzAdUser -First 1` or `Get-AzAdGroup -First 1` should be implemented using the $top query parameter. In other words, the action should be on the server side. At the moment, things are happening on the client side--a bunch of Entra objects are part of the response, and then the first object is picked on the client side.
Also, `-First` parameter should have an alias parameter `-Top`.
