Az CLI version 21.74.0 is faulty

[Avanasea]

Description

We use az devops login in our pipeline, and we had a python warning/issue which is annoying
##[error]/opt/az/azcliextensions/azure-devops/azext_devops/dev/__init__.py:5: UserWarning: pkg_resources is deprecated as an API. See https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/pkg_resources.html. The pkg_resources package is slated for removal as early as 2025-11-30. Refrain from using this package or pin to Setuptools<81.

We build Packer image two weeks ago (guessing the version of az cli 21.74.0 was upgraded then as well) and as a workaround we downgraded to 21.73.0 in the pipeline, but we don’t want to keep the install.

Please fix
