Allow `azd env refresh` against an environment that doesn't exist locally

[jongio]

I cloned a project that doesn't have an .azure folder yet.

I want to pull the environment info down.

I run azd env refresh -e envname expecting it to prompt for me to select a sub to pull the env from.

But instead I get this:

Error: no project exists; to create a new project, run `azd init`.

I'd expect it to let me select a sub and continue with the refresh.

@jongio , the error you are getting is because your project doesn't have azure.yaml in the root (so the folder is not considered an azd project)

Would you like to make azd env refresh to create an empty azure.yaml file if it is not there?

Repro:

1. gh repo clone Azure-Samples/todo-nodejs-mongo (it has azure.yaml)
2. azd env refresh

get:
Error: no project exists; to create a new project, run azd init.

I would prefer to not have to init a project.

I expect it to prompt me for the environment name and then refresh versus ask me to init a new project.

@jongio did you cd todo-nodejs-mongo after step 1 ?? Otherwise I can't reproduce what you are seeing.

I do

1. gh repo clone Azure-Samples/todo-nodejs-mongo
2. cd todo-nodejs-mongo
3. azd env refresh

Then it asks for env name:

The error you are seeing is when azure.yaml is not found in the directory where you are running azd, So, can you share more info about the path you are using?

I will try to repro on Windows... just in casa

tried in Windows as well.. the only way to reproduce is by not doing cd todo-nodejs-mongo which would be expected.
@jongio please review

Okay, it works as expected if I cd to the dir.
