Description

Tracking PR feedback:

Where do we hook up the -U switch on the CLI as an override of the user name of the current context?

Need to think about the wider issue of how to enable all the backcompat sqlcmd switches to be passed into the new sqlcmd subcommands, e.g. how many switches from old sqlcmd do we need to make available to sqlcmd query

Research direction

Start at the Cobra-based CLI entry point for sqlcmd query and trace how the current context user is selected. Review how legacy sqlcmd switches are passed into subcommands, including -U, and clarify which switches are in scope. Done means the compatibility behavior and the -U override are defined and implemented.
