[BUG] Cannot create a M365 group with an apostrophe / single quote in the display name with New-PnPMicrosoft365Group

[lapin-b]

Reporting an Issue or Missing Feature

Issue similar to #4169 where quotes are not properly accounted for in the query.

Expected behavior

When the cmdlet is invoked with a group display name containing an apostrophe / single quote, the M365 group is not created and the cmdlet errors out with the following message instead:

New-PnPMicrosoft365Group: 
Line |
  98 |  $group = New-PnPMicrosoft365Group -DisplayName $teamName -Description …
     |           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     | Bad Request (400): Invalid filter clause: ')' or operator expected at position 69 in 'groupTypes/any(c:c eq 'Unified') and (displayName eq 'L'apostrophe' or mailNickName eq 'L'apostrophe')'.

(I replaced the actual group name with a dummy one, the position might not be exact)

Actual behavior

I would expect a successful run and the creation of a M365 group with a Microsoft Teams team associated (flag -CreateTeam).

Steps to reproduce behavior

1. Authenticate to the tenant with Connect-PnPOnline (how precisely shouldn't matter)
2. Invoke New-PnPMicrosoft365Group with a display name containing quotes
3. See the HTTP 400 Bad Request error being reported
