[Doc]: Get-AzVM help has no examples or context for -nextlink parameter

[guyrleech]

Description

If it is for paginated results as with REST calls, how do you know that there is more data to fetch, as in get the URI to pass to -nextlink?

It seems Get-AzVM supports pagination internally. No idea why it exposes NextLink. Please consult Compute team. It may be not used now.

I am following up with this to see if this is expected behavior.

@guyrleech This parameter is not used in PowerShell, it has an internal pagination mechanism. We are working to update the docs to explain this parameter or remove it entirely.

@guyrleech This parameter is being removed with the next update and is not used.
