terraform fmt should allow disabling "align equals signs"

[jameshfisher]

Terraform Version

Terraform v1.8.5
on darwin_arm64

Use Cases

• git diff should only show the relevant changes to .tf files
• .tf files should be readable; I should not need to put a ruler against the screen to see the value for a given argument

Attempted Solutions

I tried reading the docs: https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/cli/commands/fmt

Proposal

terraform fmt should allow disabling the current behavior which aligns = on multiple lines.
This is the expected format:

module "foo" {
  bar = "baz"
  qux = 42
  some_very_long_property_name_goes_here = "string"
}

This is the unexpected current behavior:

module "foo" {
  bar                                    = "baz"
  qux                                    = 42
  some_very_long_property_name_goes_here = "string"
}

Not sure if it helps for your use case, but note that you can work around this somewhat it by adding an empty line before the really long attribute.
