SNOW-1617095: changing default CLI connection requires using older connection.

[sfc-gh-melnacouzi]

SnowCLI version

3.0.0.dev0

Python version

3.10.0

Platform

macOS-10.16-x86_64-i386-64bit

What happened

snow CLI uses the old connection when setting the default connection to something new.

Console output

No response

How to reproduce

Assume 2 connections in your config list:

connection1: {'account': 'x', 'user': 'x', 'host': 'x', 'port': x, 'role': 'x', 'authenticator': 'externalbrowser'}
connection2: {'account': 'x', 'user': 'x', 'password': 'x', 'host': 'x', 'warehouse': 'x', 'role': 'x', 'authenticator': 'SNOWFLAKE_JWT', 'private_key_path': 'x'}

Default connection is connection1.

I run the command:
snow connection set-default connection2.

Instead of switching connection2 to be the default, it tries to connect first to connection1 (through browser authentication) before it switches to connection2.

I think this applies to other commands like 'snow --version'. We shouldn't be using the existing connection for these. If we do it for telemetry, then we should set some kind of strict/short timeout.
