Feature description

AzureDevOps released in public preview a feature to enable authentication with Azure Active Directory service principals & managed identities and they are encouraging people to use for automation instead of PATs.

It would be useful to have support for managed identities authentication in git-credential-manager, in the same way it already supports AAD authentication with users.
The managed identity client id could be provided in the configuration.

This would greatly simplify setting up a repo for automation, and everything would seemlessly after setting up the git-credential-manager configuration.
