Description of Feature or Work Requested

The command az network watcher show-next-hop currently supports only the short-form parameter --dest-ip.
I am requesting the addition of a long-form parameter --destination-ip as an alias for consistency with other
Azure CLI networking commands, which typically provide both short and long parameter names.

This enhancement would improve clarity, readability, and usability without breaking backward compatibility.

Additional context

This request is focused solely on improving parameter naming consistency within the Azure CLI.
The underlying Network Watcher REST API already supports the required fields, and no service-side
changes are needed. Adding the long-form alias --destination-ip would align this command with
other networking commands that provide both short and long parameter names.
