crossplane provider

Feature description

It would be useful to have a crossplane provider for infisical.

Why would it be useful?

We are currently using crossplane and infisical for our platform and it would be beneficial to be able to manage infisical resources with crossplane.

Additional context

The easiest would way would probably to convert the existing terraform provider to a crossplane provider:

Hey @WladyX, if you are looking for IaC, have you checked out our Terraform provider? Since both are roughly IaC, is there a reason why TF doesn't cover your use case?

Hey @maidul98, thank you for the quick answer.
I know about the TF provider, that's why I was mentioning you could convert it to a crossplane provider, crossplane provides the upjet tool to convert TF provider to crossplane providers.
We are integrating crossplane (and infisical) in our platform, and trying to avoid terraform if/where we can.
There are many internal developer platforms using crossplane, so I think it would be a nice addition to the infisical capabilities.
Why would one choose crossplane over TF is a long debate and everybody of course has it opinions and use cases.
But you could check this article for example:
https://blog.crossplane.io/crossplane-vs-terraform/
But TLDR would be that when building a portal (like backstage) where developers can self-service (like provision infisical secrets and projects) crossplane makes more sense than TF.
If you are willing to give this a shot, we'll be glad to beta test it.
