Introduce AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION env var to decouple model/project deployment location from the resource group location (AZURE_LOCATION). When a user selects a model from a different region during init, only AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION is updated, preserving AZURE_LOCATION for the resource group. This prevents provisioning failures when the Foundry project and resource group are in different regions. Fixes Azure#7670 Supersedes Azure#7873

Pull request overview
This PR updates the azure.ai.agents extension’s init/model-selection flows to decouple the location used for AI model/project deployments from the resource group location by introducing and preferring AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION (with fallback to AZURE_LOCATION for compatibility).
Changes:
- Prefer
AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION(fallbackAZURE_LOCATION) when loading Azure context for model/project operations. - Update location initialization to set both
AZURE_LOCATION(RG) andAZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION(AI deployments) by default, and adjust messaging to be less env-var-specific. - Ensure project/model selection flows write
AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATIONwithout overwriting an existingAZURE_LOCATION.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| cli/azd/extensions/azure.ai.agents/internal/cmd/init_models.go | Writes selected model/deployment region to AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION and updates success/error messaging accordingly. |
| cli/azd/extensions/azure.ai.agents/internal/cmd/init_foundry_resources_helpers.go | Adds AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION preference in context loading; updates location ensuring and project selection to avoid clobbering RG location. |
- ensureLocation fast-path now seeds AZURE_LOCATION when unset, preventing provisioning failures if only AZURE_AI_DEPLOYMENTS_LOCATION was configured. - Add TestUpdateEnvLocation covering env var persistence and azureContext update.
