Bug on: Azure Hybrid Benefit - Azure SQL Database & SQL Managed Instance

The current documentation for enabling the Azure Hybrid Benefit (AHB) for Azure SQL Database and SQL Managed Instance is text-heavy and lacks visual aids. This can lead to several issues for users. 1) Complexity and Confusion 2) Increased Error Rate 3) Time Consumption

Implementing step-by-step visual guides or video tutorials within the documentation can address these issues. Each guide will provide a clear, visual walkthrough of the process for enabling Azure Hybrid Benefit via different methods: the Azure portal, PowerShell, Azure CLI, and REST API. The guides will include:

1. Screenshots and Descriptions: Each step will be accompanied by screenshots with concise text descriptions.
2. Video Tutorials: Short video clips demonstrating the process in real time.
3. Interactive Elements: Where possible, include interactive elements or clickable areas on screenshots to enhance user engagement.
