Import-Module fails with error message when default Project not with common scopes set

[mpiederiet]

Steps to reproduce

• Start a new PowerShell window (tested with PowerShell Core 7.2.3 but also Windows PowerShell 5)
• Import the VSTeam module
• Connect using Set-VSTeamAccount without using the -Level param (so it defaults to level 'Process')

  Set-VSTeamDefaultProject -Project '<Name of an existing project>' -Scope 'User'

  or (when this PowerShell window is running as Administrator)

  Set-VSTeamDefaultProject -Project '<Name of an existing project>' -Scope 'Machine'

• Start a new PowerShell window
• Import the VSTeam module

Expected behavior

I expected that I could import the module without issues

Actual behavior?

The Import-Module failed with error message You must call Set-VSTeamAccount before calling any other functions in this module

On Which OS have you tried it?

I already found out that the Import-Module fails because of this line in VSTeam.psm1: https://github.com/MethodsAndPractices/vsteam/blob/41f28b4d9929ed8778e2d001ec3d54d4968cb1aa/Source/VSTeam.psm1#L32

The Get-VSTeamProject command can't be executed here because there are no stored credentials. I think it would be a good idea to check for credentials before executing Get-VSTeamProject Maybe even better: check for stored credentials, then check for stored default Project name, then check whether that project still exists and throw a warning if it doesn't.
