az snapshot create does not create a snapshot if the --name already exists and does not report any error

az snapshot create -g MyResourceGroup -n MySnapshot2 --source "/subscriptions/00000/resource

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When creating a new snapshot, if one of the same name (e.g. MySnapshot2) already exists in MyResourceGroup, the snapshot create command will not overwrite it or report any failure, the exit code is 0. The only clear way to identify this is to compare the timeCreated snapshot value with current time.

Describe the solution you'd like

Ideally, snapshot create would report an error or return a non-zero exit status, alternatively it would be nice to pass a flag to overwrite existing snapshots:
az snapshot create -g MyResourceGroup -n MySnapshot2 --overwrite --source "/subscriptions/00000/resource
Groups/AnotherResourceGroup/providers/Microsoft.Compute/disks/MyDisk"

doing both would be best.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I don't have any alternative, I understand why az snapshot create would not assume it safe to overwrite an existing snapshot, but the command should be more verbose about what action it is or is not taking
