Description of Feature or Work Requested

Customers should be able to opt for "BlockDeletionBeforeEndOfLife" feature while creating/updating Azure Compute Gallery images. Once the customer opts for this feature, it prevents their images from any accidental deletions before the EndOfLife of the image expires.

This feature is supported from the API Version - "2024-03-03"

Update required in following CLI cmdlets:

1. az sig image-version create
2. az sig image-version update

We need a new boolean in these cmdlets called block-deletion-before-end-of-life. It can be null or set to true/false.

Minimum API Version Required

Hi @zhoxing-ms , I raised the first issue in October'23, but it was not reviewed. Can you please prioritize this? We want to onboard customers to this feature ASAP.
Is there a release happening before 04/01?
