(cli-lib-alpha): should be able to disable cloud assembly version check

[corymhall]

Describe the feature

When you use the AwsCdkCli.fromCloudAssemblyDirectoryProducer() it defaults to enforcing a version check on the CloudAssembly. You should be able to disable the version check.

Use Case

For my use case I need it to create a CloudAssembly, but I don't want it to do a version check. I am using the AwsCdkCli to synth and then I will read the resulting cdk.out directory and pull the information I need from it. By enforcing a version check it requires me to keep the version of this library always up to date, otherwise users get an error if they are using a new version of aws-cdk-lib.

Proposed Solution

With the current implementation of fromCloudAssemblyDirectoryProducer it looks like we might not even need to create a cxapi.CloudAssembly. We might be able to change this line

aws-cdk/packages/@aws-cdk/cli-lib-alpha/lib/cli.ts

Line 128 in 873233b

return withEnv(async() => createAssembly(await producer.produce(context)), env);

to be:

  return withEnv(async() => await producer.produce(context), env);
