Add 'iam' prefix to 'serviceAccount' export

[strongishllama]

Description

Hi there 👋

Currently, as the serviceAccount export doesn't have the service prefix like all the other exports, the following construct cannot be built by jsii and fails with following error.

I've tried several workarounds, such as:

• Using an as import like so: import { serviceAccount as iamServiceAccount } from "@cdktf/provider-google";
• Creating a BaseServiceAccount class that creates the serviceAccount resource, and then extending it with a ServiceAccount subclass.

None of the above have worked.

I understand that the provider resources are generated, but would there be a way to add an override for the serviceAccount export, so it becomes iamServiceAccount? This would have two main benefits:

• Keeping a consistent naming conversion of ServiceName-ResourceName
• Allow for a cleaner looking interface when being able to use ServiceAccount as a class/construct name.

import { Construct } from "constructs";
import { serviceAccount } from "@cdktf/provider-google";

export interface ServiceAccountConfig {
  readonly accountId: string;
}

export class ServiceAccount extends Construct {
  public readonly grantMember: string;

  private readonly resource: serviceAccount.ServiceAccount;

  constructor(scope: Construct, id: string, config: ServiceAccountConfig) {
    super(scope, id);

    this.resource = new serviceAccount.ServiceAccount(this, "resource", {
      accountId: config.accountId,
    });

    this.grantMember = this.resource.member;
  }
}

service-account/service-account.ts:6:14 - error JSII5011: Submodule "serviceAccount" conflicts with "ServiceAccount, as different languages could represent it as: "serviceAccount", "ServiceAccount", "service_account""

6 export class ServiceAccount extends BaseServiceAccount {
               ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  ../../../node_modules/@cdktf/provider-google/lib/index.d.ts:584:13
    584 export * as serviceAccount from './service-account';
                    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    This is the conflicting submodule declaration

Thanks in advance! 🙏

We follow the Terraform resource schema very closely to be predictable and avoid confusion. I am afraid you will need to find another name for the ServiceAccount in your local construct or do some workaround yourself (you could probably use a locally built provider and have a bash script replace the export * as ... statement if it's that important to you).
