Teams whoami

Report which Microsoft Teams account this browser is signed in as — work or personal: email, name, whether it is a personal (consumer) or work account, and which Teams host it lives on (personal accounts are redirected to teams.live.com). Being signed out is reported as a normal answer (loggedIn false), not an error, so it can be used to check a session — and pick the right Teams host — before running other Teams scripts.
