Simpler way to switch between subscriptions than provided by documentation

[jothki]

This page provides this method for changing between subscriptions:
$context = Get-AzSubscription -SubscriptionId ...
Set-AzContext $context

I'm not sure if this capability was added since the documentation was created, but this operation can be done simply with
Set-AzContext -Subscription ...

This method skips an unnecessary call to the API, and would likely be easier for new users to understand and work with.
