az functionapp config appsettings set fails with 'int' object is not iterable when large number of string separated settings. Works fine in V 2.39 but not V 2.40

az feedback auto-generates most of the information requested below, as of CLI version 2.40.0

Related command az functionapp config appsettings set --name $appServiceName --resource-group $resourceGroup --settings $settings --output none --slot $slotName

Describe the bug Fails with large number of space separated strings in the form of key=value. Even batching the settings into smaller chunks causes the same error after the first couple of batches are ran.

To Reproduce Run above command against a function app with a large number of settings and using key vault pointers for a number of them. Our service has 76 settings.

Expected behavior Should work. Use to work just fine in previous versions of the CLI.
