App registration command should be updated. (old: Initialize-PnPPowerShellAuthentication, new: Register-PnPAzureADApp)

[mitanabe]

[Enter feedback here]
Initialize-PnPPowerShellAuthentication command is depricated in the latest PnP PowerShell. This command is not available now.
Register-PnPAzureADApp is the latest command.
Please update the procedure of registering an application to AAD in this document.

@mitanabe,
Thank you for catching that—I'll escalate this to our engineering team to update the documentation accordingly. We'll ensure the guidance reflects the use of Register-PnPAzureADApp instead of the deprecated cmdlet.
