Add support for set literal

[xolott]

Description

When I deploy a helm chart using a JSON as a value, helm tries to parse the JSON as a template string and fails with something like key "\n \"enable\": true" has no value (cannot end with ,)

Helm 3.12.0 added --set-literal

Can we add this option to the set block?

Potential Terraform Configuration

resource "helm_release" "my_app" {
  name       = "app"
  repository = "https://my.app.io/helm-charts/"
  chart      = "my-app-chart"

  set {
    name = "my.json.setting"
    type  =  "literal"
    value =  file("${path.module}/my-file.json")
  }
}

Or with a set_literal block

resource "helm_release" "my_app" {
  name       = "app"
  repository = "https://my.app.io/helm-charts/"
  chart      = "my-app-chart"

  set_literal {
    name = "my.json.setting"
    value =  file("${path.module}/my-file.json")
  }
}
