Commands should request permissions based on scopes in decorated metadata

[adamedx]

Currently, users must know the permissions required for every command. Currently there are 497 (and counting!) permissions to choose from, so clearly this is an unreasonable expectation.

To address this, a solution like the following could be implemented:

• The openapi specs in this repo should support the ability to decorate the API and thus the associated commands with the most likely required permission.
  • This decoration could be manual or (even better) automated based on authoritative sources
• The generated command could then request this permission at runtime so that users would not have to do research.

Solution to #2008 will probably address this one too.

@adamedx, we don't automatically request for permissions, but there's a Find-MgGraphCommand cmdlet that shows you what permissions a command needs.
