Scenario 2: Role Assignment Flags with --infra-json (--assign-custom-hcp-roles)

Objective: Verify that --assign-custom-hcp-roles is also caught by the same infra-json conflict validation.

Command

$ hypershift create cluster azure \
    --name test-s2 \
    --azure-creds creds.yaml \
    --infra-json infra.json \
    --assign-custom-hcp-roles \
    --pull-secret pull-secret.json \
    --release-image quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.18.0-x86_64 \
