Problem

Installing CDK CLI is an extra step.

Related: #3028

Expected behavior

  • If Toolkit doesn't find CDK CLI on the system, offer to auto-install it.
  • Also need to auto-update it.
  • The installed copy will be "private" to AWS Toolkit, it won't pollute the customer's system $PATH.
    • Problem: much of cdk cli usage involves user invocations of cli in the terminal, so if Toolkit intalls a "private" copy we would need to make it available in vscode terminal somehow.
