Upgrading to CDKTF Version 0.19	Potential provider naming collision with new instance function `moveTo`

Upgrading to CDK for Terraform Version 0.19

0.19 brings new workflows to import existing resources from cloud providers and refactor exisiting resources in your CDKTF project.

Minimum required Node.js version updated to 18.12

Since the long-term support for Node.js 16 ended on 2023-09-11, we updated our minimum compatible Node.js version to 18.12.

Potential provider naming collision with instance function moveTo on TerraformResource

We have added support for resource refactoring and renaming with the addition of the instance function moveTo on TerraformResource. We forsee the potential for naming collision with providers using moveTo as an attribute. In instances where provider bindings fail to compile due to the collision, regenerate your provider bindings and replace the provider related usage of moveTo to moveToAttribute in your configuration if applicable.

Java: codeMakerOutput needs to be set to a company identifier

We did not honor the codeMakerOutput setting in the cdktf.json previously, this is fixed now. To have no changes in the generated code you can set codeMakerOutput: "imports". If you like, you can now set it to your company name, e.g. codeMakerOutput: "com.hashicorp" so that the provider is generated under the com.hashicorp.aws namespace for example. Omitting the codeMakerOutput will lead to the default value .gen being used and results in an error.
