Service principal context left in inconsistent state after `az account list --refresh`

See original GitHub issue

Repro steps:

# use a clean configuration directory
export AZURE_CONFIG_DIR="$(pwd)/foo"

az login --service-principal --username ...

# at this point, everything should work; for instance, az keyvault list should return whatever keyvaults your service principal can read
az keyvault list

# refreshing the account list leaves the account configuration in an inconsistent state.
az account list --refresh

# this command fails and prints "Could not retrieve credential from local cache for service principal None. Run `az login` for this service principal."
az keyvault list

# if you look in $AZURE_CONFIG_DIR/azureProfile.json, you will see that the "user" field of every subscription object is null now

It seems like a regression in 2.30.0, likely due to #19707

I see. I can reproduce this issue. Actually az account list --refresh is always problematic, even in ADAL-based Azure CLI. We are considering to deprecate --refresh (#20429).

Anyway, let me fix this issue for now.

Thank you for the quick fix! We will investigate whether we still need this functionality at all and if so, switch to az account clear; az login
