Connect-MgGraph: try - catch not consistent

[i5513]

See #3582

That is a feature request about timeout option in Connect-MgGraph.

But I think the current behaviour should be fixed or documented

date; try {
      Connect-MgGraph -ErrorAction stop -ContextScope Process -TenantId 'xxx' -ClientId 'yyy' }  catch {
       Write-Warning 'Cannot Connect'
} finally { 'Esto sí se ejecuta!' }
