provider/local: Implement a new local_file resource This commit adds the ability to provision files locally. This is useful for cases where TerraForm generates assets such as TLS certificates or templated documents that need to be saved locally. - While output variables can be used to return values to the user, it is not extremly suitable for large content or when many of these are generated, nor is it practical for operators to manually save them on disk. - While `local-exec` could be used with an `echo`, this provider works across platforms and do not require any convoluted escaping.

~> **Note** Terraform primarily deals with remote resources which are able
to outlive a single Terraform run, and so local resources can sometimes violate
its assumptions. The resources here are best used with care, since depending
on local state can make it hard to apply the same Terraform configuration on
many different local systems where the local resources may not be universally
available. See specific notes in each resource for more information.
