Remove unused template variables

SYNOPSIS

Each Azure Resource Manager (ARM) template variable should be used or removed from template files.

DESCRIPTION

ARM templates can optionally define variables that can be reused throughout the template. Variables that are not used may add template complexity for no benefit.

RECOMMENDATION

Consider removing unused variables from Azure template files.

NOTES

This rule is deprecated from v1.36.0. By default, PSRule will not evaluate this rule unless explicitly enabled. See https://aka.ms/ps-rule-azure/deprecations.
