Turn off telemetry on CI servers by default? #27445

Description

@jessehouwing

npm and yarn and many other tools turn off telemetry on CI servers by default. Partially to reduce the time to run and partially because CI tends to handle IP and secrets.

az has the ability to turn off telemetry explicitly by calling

az config set collect_telemetry=false --only-show-errors

There are a few other settings that are reccomended by the az-cli team through the az init extension:

az config set auto-upgrade.enable=false --only-show-errors
az config set core.error_recommendation=off --only-show-errors
az config set core.disable_progress_bar=true --only-show-errors
az config set core.no_color=true --only-show-errors
az config set output.show_survey_link=no --only-show-errors
az config set logging.enable_log_file=no --only-show-errors

I propose az-cli should adopt these settings by default, unless explicitly configured otherwise when it detects a CI environment.

It could use similar features as the is-ci node module or Python-vw.
