Add `terraform state list` command This introduces the terraform state list command to list the resources within a state. This is the first of many state management commands to come into 0.7. This is the first command of many to come that is considered a "plumbing" command within Terraform (see "plumbing vs porcelain": http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/what-are-plumbing-and-porcelain-td2190639.html). As such, this PR also introduces a bunch of groundwork to support plumbing commands. The main changes: - Main command output is changed to split "common" and "uncommon" commands. - mitchellh/cli is updated to support nested subcommands, since terraform state list is a nested subcommand. - terraform.StateFilter is introduced as a way in core to filter/search the state files. This is very basic currently but I expect to make it more advanced as time goes on. - terraform state list command is introduced to list resources in a state. This can take a series of arguments to filter this down. Known issues, or things that aren't done in this PR on purpose: - Unit tests for terraform state list are on the way. Unit tests for the core changes are all there.

# Resource Addressing
website: Indicate v0.12-only content We have released the v0.12-oriented content to the website early in order to support the beta process, but in some places we neglected to explicitly mark features or content as being v0.12-only. Here we add explicit markers to the main cases we've seen where readers have reported confusion, along with some other tweaks in similar vein.

The `terraform state` subcommands use
[standard address syntax](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html) to refer
to individual resources, resource instances, and modules. This is the same
syntax used for the `-target` option to the `apply` and `plan` commands.

Most state commands allow referring to individual resource instances, whole
resources (which may have multiple instances if `count` or `for_each` is used),
or even whole modules.
