Entra Authentication support in AI Model Inference

[BenoityipMSFT]

Anyone can get Entra authentication working in Semantic Kernel?

How can I integrate the following 3 lines into Semantic Kernel?
AzureAIInferenceClientOptions clientOptions = new AzureAIInferenceClientOptions();
BearerTokenAuthenticationPolicy tokenPolicy = new BearerTokenAuthenticationPolicy(credential, new string[] { "https://cognitiveservices.azure.com/.default" });
clientOptions.AddPolicy(tokenPolicy, HttpPipelinePosition.PerRetry);

You should be able to allow injection of client - also tagging @rogerbarreto

@BenoityipMSFT, @sophialagerkranspandey was quite on point here.

Use one of our AddAzureAIInference extension methods providing your ChatCompletionsClient and should work.
