[cisco-voip] Your Associated Webex Sites

Technically you can still be associated to multiple sites even with Control
Hub such as having a Meeting Center and Event Center license.

Most of it seems to be accounting for Site Administration use cases where
your email address could exist across multiple organizations.

This is an interesting thing along with how you found that each site you
are Partner Admin for allows you to have a PMR on their site.  It's mainly
just applicable to us Cisco partners.  I'd reach out to PSIRT about it and
see what they think.

I did test with Fiddler and that API request doesn't seem to be documented
anywhere which is interesting.
