Customer feedback | az storage account create | incorrect / misleading error message when

[dbradish-microsoft]

Describe the bug

Assuming the customer has not incorrectly typed a subscription name or ID, they receive a "subscription not found" error when a resource provider is not registered in the active subscription. For example, if you want to execute az storage account create, the Microsoft.Storage provider must be registered. To register a resource provider, see Azure resource providers and types.

This error should say "Error: The resource provider for Microsoft.Storage must be registered to run az storage account create. To learn how to register a resource provider, see [Azure resource providers and types](https://review.learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-resource-manager/management/resource-providers-and-types). Then, rerun the command." ... or something similar.

Telling the customer "subscription not found" might be correct "downstream", but it is not the primary problem and changing or resetting your subscription doesn't fix the problem.

Thank you for opening this issue, we will look into it.

Service error code is incorrect. For CLI side, will look into checking if the Storage resource provider is not registered in this case.
