Fix azure-ai-ml pylint 4.0.4 compliance

[Copilot]

Pylint 4.0.4 enforces stricter exception handling and import ordering rules. This PR addresses violations in _deployment_template_operations.py ahead of the 2026-04-13 enforcement deadline.

Changes

Import ordering

• Alphabetically sorted imports within groups per pylint 4.0.4 requirements

Exception logging (do-not-log-exceptions-if-not-debug)

• Changed module_logger.warning/error() → module_logger.debug() in exception handlers that re-raise
• Affected methods: _get_registry_endpoint(), get(), delete()
• Prevents sensitive information exposure in production logs

Control flow simplification (try-except-raise)

• Removed try-except blocks that only log and re-raise in create_or_update(), archive(), restore()
• These provide no error handling value and trigger pylint violations

# Before
def create_or_update(self, deployment_template):
    try:
        # ... operation logic ...
        return deployment_template
    except Exception as e:
        module_logger.error("Operation failed: %s", e)
        raise

# After
def create_or_update(self, deployment_template):
    # ... operation logic ...
    return deployment_template  # Exceptions propagate naturally

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)
