Add parameter to hide outputs on plan/apply; e.g. --suppressOutputs

[JohnLBevan]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.11.0
on windows_amd64
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azuread v3.1.0
+ provider registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/azurerm v4.21.1

Use Cases

When running terraform plan / terraform apply a list of changes is displayed followed by a useful summary line showing how many resources are impacted, then by Changes to Outputs: which can be quite verbose for some modules. This makes the plan harder to read, and a lot of the time you don't care about those details. Having a flag to optionally supress this would thus improve the user experience.

Attempted Solutions

Not attempted

Proposal

Provide a parameter (e.g. suppressOutputs) which can be set when running plan/apply (e.g. terraform plan --suppressOutputs) to prevent the Changes to Outputs section from being displayed.
