Upgrade @microsoft/vscode-azext-azureauth to 6.0.0-alpha.8

[alexweininger]

Updates @microsoft/vscode-azext-azureauth from 6.0.0-alpha.5 to 6.0.0-alpha.8.

Bug fixes included in this upgrade

• Fix subscription filter change events suppressed during debounce (vscode-azuretools#2245) — subscriptionFilterChange events could be silently dropped when they occurred during the debounce window, causing the Azure tree to not refresh after changing subscription filters. Fixes Re‑selecting subscription does not trigger Azure Resources view refresh #1412.

• Add BearerChallengePolicy for MFA step-up during subscription listing (vscode-azuretools#2231) — When users hit an MFA step-up challenge (401 with WWW-Authenticate header) during tenant/subscription listing, the request would simply fail. The auth package now includes a BearerChallengePolicy on the subscription client pipeline to handle these challenges.

Other changes

• Reduce auth event debounce from 5s to 2s (vscode-azuretools#2246) — Reduces the onRefreshSuggested debounce interval from 5 seconds to 2 seconds for faster tree refresh after auth state changes.

• Watch sovereign cloud config and fire onRefreshSuggested (vscode-azuretools#2248) — The auth provider now watches the microsoft-sovereign-cloud config section for changes. When the cloud environment is switched, it clears all cached auth data and fires onRefreshSuggested with a new cloudChange reason, so trees refresh automatically without manual cache clearing.
