bug: Bicep Sample Failing on deployment

[bobjac]

When executing the deployment of the Bicep sample, the following error is being thrown in the backend:

Initial investigation of the bug showed that "artifactsLocationSasToken" is being written to a variables file in both the Terraform implementation and the Bicep implementation. In both implemtations, the main template does not have a variable with that name declared.

Terraform will successfully deploy the solution with just a warning. ARM will throw the error above.

Possible solutions:

1. Strip the artifactsLocationSasToken from the variable file. This will require a new VM Offer Build / Publish
2. Add a default artifactsLocationSasToken parameter to the generated template from the Python SDK. Set a default value to an empty string. This will require a new published CLI version.
