azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredential.get_token docs do not explain scopes arg.

See original GitHub issue

What are scopes?

azure.identity.DefaultAzureCredential and other Credential classes have the method get_token with the arguments scopes and tenant_id, both of type str. It is not precisely explained what these arguments are or how they may be obtained.

It would be valuable to have a precise description here in the documentation or an example.

Can you include the link you just sent to the scopes section in the documentation at least?
