Description
Azure DevOps can now map AAD service principals to ADO principals allowing for AAD service principal grants and auth. This removes the need to keep AD service account PATs for processes running with app credentials.
Where possible, replace PAT credentials in tools and services with AAD app credentials.

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; begin by inventorying the tools and services in azure-sdk-tools that use Azure DevOps PATs. Identify which processes can use Azure AD app credentials, then define completion as replacing each applicable PAT without breaking authentication.
