PNP Module should show an error if the site is not valid

[farismalaeb]

When connecting to a SharePoint site with a wrong URL, the module is not returning any error and it looks like the connection was success.
Connect-PnPOnline -Url 'https://Mytendnance.sharepoint.com/NotExistSite' -Credentials $Username
there won't be any error that the site does not exist. instead, all the other cmdlets such as Get-PNPList return an error that does not reflect the original issue.

It will be good to for the PNP module to check if the site is actually exist

On PowerShell 7 its seems to be working fine, but 5.1 ISE not.

Understood @farismalaeb . PR #1924 will add an optional -ValidateConnection to Connect-PnPOnline which will allow you to do this.
