[Feature] Explore the creation of a Synapse provider for Terraform

What projects is this feature for?

Description

A use case would be to be able to deploy AWS and Synapse resources with Infrastructure As Code (IaC) in the context of Challenges. A good candidate solution that I've started to explore is the CDK for Terraform (CDKTF).

The goal of this ticket is to explore the creation of a Synapse provider for CDKTF to deploy a single type of resources (e.g. a Synapse Project).

Architecture:

• A Synapse provider for CDKTF started from cdktf/cdktf-provider-template.
• A Synapse API client that the provider can import to create resources
  • E.g. synapse-api-client-python mentioned in #1670

Language:

• I'm now familiar with developing with CDKTF and TypeScript. CDKTF also enables to develop in Python (wrapper for CDKTF TypeScript code), which may be more accessible to other Sagers.

I think I understand, are you trying to utilize terraform to create a bundle of synapse resources? This is very interesting!

Instead of writing something like synapseformation (https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/synapseformation) we should just utilize the terraform engine to define and create bundles of Synapse resources.

If we limited it to projects, folders, wikis, teams, and perhaps permissions, this would be very doable.
