We weren't marking skipped nodes as failing, so any
grandchild-and-deeper dependencies would still evaluate.
For example:
A -> B -> C -> D
If B failed, C would be skipped, but D would still be evaluated.
This fixes the behavior so C, D, and any further descendents will all be
skipped when B fails.
Addresses crashing aspect of #2955 and likely a lot of other confusing
failure modes.
Add `-target=resource` flag to core operations, allowing users to
target specific resources in their infrastructure. When `-target` is
used, the operation will only apply to that resource and its
dependencies.
The calculated dependencies are different depending on whether we're
running a normal operation or a `terraform destroy`.
Generally, "dependencies" refers to ancestors: resources falling
_before_ the target in the graph, because their changes are required to
accurately act on the target.
For destroys, "dependencies" are descendents: those resources which fall
_after_ the target. These resources depend on our target, which is going
to be destroyed, so they should also be destroyed.
