[Feature]: Get-AzResourceGroup: Include createdTime and changedTime, at least optionally

[o-l-a-v]

Description of the new feature

The ARM API supports $expand=createdTime,changedTime, both for GET and LIST for resource groups:

• Get: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resource-groups/get
• List: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/resources/resource-groups/list

It'd be useful if Get-AzResourceGroup included this info, at least optionally. No possibility of that today:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/az.resources/get-azresourcegroup

Today one can do this:

# GET
ConvertFrom-Json -InputObject (
    (Invoke-AzRestMethod -Method 'Get' -Path (
        '{0}?$expand=createdTime,changedTime&api-version=2021-04-01' -f
        $ResourceGroupId
    )
).'Content'

# LIST
(
    ConvertFrom-Json -InputObject (
        Invoke-AzRestMethod -Method 'Get' -Path (
            '/subscriptions/resourceGroups?$expand=createdTime,changedTime&api-version=2021-04-01' -f
            $SubscriptionId
        )
    ).'Content'
).'value'

Proposed implementation details (optional)

Either:

• Include by default.
• Option to include said info.
  • Add -Expand someProperty,someOtherProperty option which translates to $expand=someProperty,someOtherProperty?
    • It's not that these change often, so can be hardcoded and checked before going to the ARM API?
      • "ERROR: "someProperty" is not a property that can be expanded on ResourceGroup.
  • -IncludeTimeInfo switch?

While #5814 is similar, this feature request includes GET too, not just LIST.

Resources can't include createdTime and changedTime on GET, only LIST. Unlike resource groups.
