What does this PR change?

Two small fixes across two files, both addressing stale Azure Active Directory naming.

storage-files-identity-ad-ds-overview.md
Removes a trailing rename callout sentence from the Videos section intro:

"Note that Azure Active Directory is now Microsoft Entra ID. For more info, see New name for Azure AD."

The surrounding content already uses "Microsoft Entra ID" correctly, making this note redundant.

migrate/create-manage-projects.md
Updates a NOTE block that referred to the "Azure Active Directory (AAD) app" and "AAD app details":
Before: > the associated Azure Active Directory (AAD) app
After: > the associated Microsoft Entra app

The CLI command az ad app delete is unchanged as it reflects actual command syntax.

Why?

Azure Active Directory was renamed to Microsoft Entra ID in July 2023. Both references were stale prose that had not been updated.

This update replaces 'AAD app' with 'Microsoft Entra app', but the remaining phrases are now inconsistent/unclear: (1) the placeholder <aad app id> should be renamed to something vendor-neutral like <app-id>/<application-id> to match the new terminology and the --id parameter meaning; (2) 'Microsoft Entra app details' isn’t a standard portal destination name—consider using 'Microsoft Entra admin center > App registrations' (or 'app registration details') for clarity; (3) 'Azure Command Line Interface (AzCLI)' is nonstandard—prefer 'Azure CLI' (optionally 'Azure CLI (az)') since you’re already showing an az command.

Suggested change
> You can't delete or manage the associated Microsoft Entra app from this Azure Migrate project level. To delete this resource, visit the Microsoft Entra app details or use the Azure Command Line Interface (AzCLI). `az ad app delete --id <aad app id>`
> You can't delete or manage the associated Microsoft Entra app from this Azure Migrate project level. To delete this resource, go to **Microsoft Entra admin center** > **App registrations** or use **Azure CLI**. `az ad app delete --id <app-id>`

@EoinTrial the video is older and it mentions Azure AD, so that's why we left the note in there. I don't mind if it comes out though. I am only the owner of one of these docs, so I won't sign off on the PR.
