Python: Use PEP-420 package namespaces

[kedare]

Description

Today, the way module are exposed to python is not really ergonomic as 1 root module is created for each terraform provider:

from cdktf_cdktf_provider_docker.image import Image
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_docker.container import Container
from cdktf_cdktf_provider_docker.provider import DockerProvider

Python is (one of the?) only implementation to have it implemented like this.

It would be interesting to migrate (or at least make it compatible with a non breaking way) with native package namespaces to allow a more natural naming

This would allow for example to have this kind of more natural and flexible imports

from cdktf.cdktf.provider.docker.image import Image
from cdktf.cdktf.provider.docker.container import Container
from cdktf.cdktf.provider.docker.provider import DockerProvider
