Description

I am working on setting up OKTA application using OKTA provider https://registry.terraform.io/providers/oktadeveloper/okta/latest/docs

This provider seems to have a bug https://github.com/okta/terraform-provider-okta/issues/162 and are unable to handle parallel request sent by terraform. We have to use -parallelism=1. cdktf deploy doesn't seem support terraform cli options

Hence instead of using cdktf deploy, I have to resort to using terraform apply --auto-approve -parallelism=1 after cdktf synth

Would be great if terraform cli options honored by cdktf cli

I have a very similar use case with SignalFX provider, where it turns out that -parallelism=1 can be used as a workaround.

It might be interesting to explore allowing something like cdktf deploy stack -- -parallelism=1 -target=mymodule. I've worked with a few tools that have this idea of a separator after which all options are directly passed to underlying tools. In this example an empty -- is treated as the separator, but could come up with something else.

I think this will be solved between #2107 and the move to Terraform CLI

While a few cli flags are supported, there still isn't general support for them.
