Restart Azure VM

Description

The Restart VM action is designed to restart a specific virtual machine in Azure. By using the context of the current state, this action fetches an Azure access token and issues a restart command to the specified VM. The action ensures that the VM is restarted successfully and provides feedback on the process.
