Enhancement: Add folder color to `spo folder get` #5896

Related to:

The idea for this issue is to read the current folder color.

I suggest that we add a new option.

Option Description
--withColor Also return the color of the folder.

This results in 2 extra properties in the output:

{
  "color": "5",
  "colorValue": "darkBlue"
}

Notice that these 2 properties don't exist natively and we have to create them ourselves.

Tech implementation

Some more research here should be needed. Retrieving the ColorHex field doesn't seem that easy using the REST API. One way I found is by using:

GET https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/Projects/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativePath(DecodedUrl='/sites/Projects/Cortex')?$expand=properties&$select=*,properties/vti_x005f_colorhex

This returns the color hex but it isn't ideal. Let's try to look if there's a better way.

@milanholemans in general I agree with this idea and approach. We only need to research how to do that 😅
