Description
The new Azure Account extension from Microsoft is intended to provide a single Azure sign in experience for all extensions, if the PowerShell extension can use this it would alleviate the need to sign in to Azure PowerShell each time the IDE is loaded and allow a single store for Azure credentials.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the linked Azure Account extension and the repository's authentication-related entry points to determine how Azure PowerShell sign-in currently works. Done means the PowerShell extension can reuse the shared Azure sign-in and credentials without requiring a separate sign-in each time VS Code loads.
