Argument passthrough -- stops working in PowerShell since 2.40.0

[jiasli]

Describe the bug
There is a regression in Azure Quantum CLI extension introduced by Azure CLI latest release (2.40.0).

The command below, which used to work with 2.39.0, is now complaining about "ERROR: unrecognized arguments: --submit-config-file".

> az quantum job submit --target-id echo-qci -- --submit-config-file .\SubmissionConfigFile.json
cli.knack.cli: Command arguments: ['quantum', 'job', 'submit', '--target-id', 'echo-qci', '--submit-config-file', '.\\SubmissionConfigFile.json', '--debug']

Our CLI extension passes through those arguments, which follow --, to invoke our executable underneath the CLI. With this regression, this argument pass through mechanism is not working any more.

az storage copy also supports -- notation (#20702) and it stops working:

> az storage copy -s source_file -d destination_container_url -- --block-size-mb=0.25 --check-length --debug
cli.knack.cli: Command arguments: ['storage', 'copy', '-s', 'source_file', '-d', 'destination_container_url', '--block-size-mb=0.25', '--check-length', '--debug']

Tested with a simple test.ps1:

echo $args

Apparently, -- is not included in $args by PowerShell:

> ./test.ps1 a -- b
a
b

Thank you for your feedback. This has been routed to the support team for assistance.

Removing CXP attention label since this was created internally by the CLI team
