[Resource] Fix #33921: az bicep snapshot: Preserve linked resource ID format in bicepparam snapshot to avoid nondeterministic uniqueString regeneration

[Copilot]

Related command

az bicep snapshot

Description

Snapshots forwarded Azure CLI’s generated deployment name, causing Bicep to evaluate deployment().name and nested uniqueString() expressions differently on each run.

• Filter the CLI-generated azurecli<timestamp><random> deployment name from snapshot invocation.
• Continue forwarding explicitly supplied deployment names.
• Add regression coverage for generated and similarly named explicit values.

az bicep snapshot ... → bicep snapshot ...  # no generated --deployment-name

Testing Guide

az bicep snapshot --file main.bicepparam --mode Overwrite
az bicep snapshot --file main.bicepparam --mode Validate
