// FixUpBlockAttrs takes a raw HCL body and adds some additional normalization
// functionality to allow attributes that are specified as having list or set
// type in the schema to be written with HCL block syntax as multiple nested
// blocks with the attribute name as the block type.
//
// This partially restores some of the block/attribute confusion from HCL 1
// so that existing patterns that depended on that confusion can continue to
// be used in the short term while we settle on a longer-term strategy.
//
// Most of the fixup work is actually done when the returned body is
// subsequently decoded, so while FixUpBlockAttrs always succeeds, the eventual
// decode of the body might not, if the content of the body is so ambiguous
// that there's no safe way to map it to the schema.
