Description

in issue #5767
We added a new command m365 spe containertype add that allows only to specify the parent application by applicationId.
What we could do is extend this command with new options: applicationName and applicationObjectId.
This will allow a more user friendly approach to define new Container Type using names rather than guids.

Internally what we could do is try to resolve the app by name. If more than one will be found CLI should show a prompt (when interactive mode) to pick the correct app by id. After CLI will get the app by name or object id we should use the app id (client id) to create a new Container Type

We should add a remark with something generic like region needs to available for resource type 'Microsoft.Syntex/accounts'

Research direction

Start at the m365 spe containertype add command implementation and review issue #5767 for the existing applicationId behavior. Done means the command accepts applicationName and applicationObjectId, resolves names with interactive selection when ambiguous, uses the resulting application ID, and includes the requested region remark.
