Description of Feature or Work Requested

Add Azure CLI support for targetExtendedLocation when enabling VMware-to-Azure (V2A/InMageRcm) replication.

az site-recovery protected-item create currently accepts V2A provider input through --provider-details '{in-mage-rcm:{...}}'. Generate the new API field as target-extended-location within the in-mage-rcm provider-details object, matching the REST API contract:

"targetExtendedLocation": {
  "name": "edge-zone-1",
  "type": "EdgeZone"
}

For the read path, regenerate az site-recovery protected-item show against API version 2026-11-01 so its response schema recognizes and returns properties.providerSpecificDetails.targetExtendedLocation. No new input argument is required for show.
Expected CLI shape:

az site-recovery protected-item create \
  --resource-group <resource-group> \
  --vault-name <vault-name> \
  --fabric-name <fabric-name> \
  --protection-container <container-name> \
  --name <protected-item-name> \
  --policy-id <policy-id> \
  --protectable-item-id <protectable-item-id> \
  --provider-details '{in-mage-rcm:{fabric-discovery-machine-id:<machine-id>,process-server-id:<process-server-id>,target-resource-group-id:<target-rg-id>,target-network-id:<target-vnet-id>,target-subnet-name:<subnet>,target-vm-name:<vm-name>,target-extended-location:{name:<extended-location-name>,type:EdgeZone}}}'

Acceptance criteria:

• The in-mage-rcm schema under --provider-details accepts target-extended-location with name and type.
• CLI serializes it as providerSpecificDetails.targetExtendedLocation in ReplicationProtectedItems_Create.
• az site-recovery protected-item show uses the updated response schema and returns properties.providerSpecificDetails.targetExtendedLocation when present; no new show argument is required.
• Help and an example cover enabling V2A replication to an Azure Extended Zone.
• Tests cover the new input.
• Existing V2A enable-replication behavior is unchanged when the field is omitted.

Additional context

The feature is specifically for VMware-to-Azure (V2A/InMageRcm), not Azure-to-Azure (A2A). The specs PR is currently open; CLI generation should use the finalized 2026-11-01 contract after it is merged.
