BREAKING CHANGE: `az login`: Starting from version 2.67.0, `--password` no longer accepts service principal certificate

[jiasli]

Starting from version 2.67.0, for az login, --password no longer accepts service principal certificate. Use --certificate to pass a service principal certificate.

Log in with a service principal using certificate:

az login --service-principal --username APP_ID --certificate /path/to/cert.pem --tenant TENANT_ID

Log in with a service principal using client secret:

az login --service-principal --username APP_ID --password CLIENT_SECRET --tenant TENANT_ID
