Null revisionSuffix when updating container app from YAML

[maxkusnetsov]

Describe the bug

In the process of updating an application, I am attempting to copy its revision from a YAML configuration file. However, despite specifying the revisionSuffix in the YAML file or using the —revision-suffix command-line argument, it is not included in the final patch request.

Routed to Azure/azure-cli-extensions as #9982 (Azure/azure-cli-extensions#9982) because this targets the containerapp extension, whose source lives in Azure/azure-cli-extensions.
