cdktf-cli: disable animations via flag

[lohrm-stabl]

Description

There is the --no-color flag which disables all colors. However, it would be great to be able to disable the animations as well.

This is required because in some CIs, the output will look like this:

⠇  Synthesizing
⠏  Synthesizing
⠋  Synthesizing
⠙  Synthesizing
⠹  Synthesizing
⠸  Synthesizing
⠼  Synthesizing
⠴  Synthesizing
⠦  Synthesizing
⠧  Synthesizing
⠇  Synthesizing

I think this is possible with the CI environment variable. However, it would be great if it could be explicitly triggered by a flag as well.

Help Wanted

• I'm interested in contributing a fix myself

Hi @lohrm-stabl 👋

Yes, the CI environment variable should do the trick there 👍

As @ansgarm mentioned CI is there, flag seems to be redundant to me

Example from one of my pipelines:

CI=1 pipenv run cdktf deploy --parallelism  1 "*" --auto-approve

This particular example is used in Octopus Deploy that has pretty "dumb" output | sigh

Also happens to me, even with the CI=1 flag I still get animations making my output like OPs.
