Upgrading to CDKTF 0.16.0 or 0.16.1 breaks random provider in go

TL;DR

Apply the same pattern to other resources (one import per resource subpath), on top of the go.mod setup from hashicorp/terraform-cdk#2146. After upgrading to CDKTF 0.16.x, the Go random provider broke because top-level provider imports no longer resolve resources.

Steps

1. After upgrading to CDKTF 0.16.x, the Go random provider broke because top-level provider imports no longer resolve resources. Fix: import the resource as a subpath. Instead of: import random "github.com/cdktf/cdktf-provider-random-go/random/v8", use: import random "github.com/cdktf/cdktf-provider-random-go/random/v8/stringresource". Apply the same pattern to other resources (one import per resource subpath), on top of the go.mod setup from hashicorp/terraform-cdk#2146. Reporter-verified.
