Issue details

A useful quality of life improvement would be to have a Not() function that chains onto Bool outputs and Bool pointer outputs, and will invert them - very common to need the inverse of a disable on a component to pass to an enable on an inner resource or similar.

This would simplify variants like the following:

var enableFoo p.BoolInput = p.Bool(true)
if args.DisableFoo != nil {
	enableFoo = args.DisableFoo.ToBoolPtrOutput().Elem().ApplyT(func(v interface{}) bool { return !v.(bool) }).(p.BoolOutput)
}

Wondering if this makes sense for other SDKs as well? It's much less painful for every other language because it would just be something like args.DisableFoo.Apply(b => !b) but we could still save the apply call here with Output.Not(args.DisableFoo).

Do we want to consider other basic operators as well (especially for Go)? Like Negate, Add, Subtract, etc?

Since it's easy to do in other languages without helpers, I don't think it's worth increasing the surface area of the public API we have to maintain.

I do like the idea for Go.

I have mixed feelings about this; I agree that adding things that aren't necessary is wasteful.
But it would be nice to have some consistency on what we expose between languages (as long as it's similarly idiomatic).
If we're adding the helper to Go, it wouldn't be terrible to also add it to everything else where this is currently an apply.
