This is an adaptation of the installation code from configs/configload,
now using the "earlyconfig" package instead of the "configs" package.
Module installation is an initialization-only process, with all other
commands assuming an already-initialized directory. Having it here can
therefore simplify the API of configs/configload, which can now focus only
on the problem of loading modules that have already been installed.
The old installer code in configs/configload is still in place for now
because the caller in "terraform init" isn't yet updated to use this.
