terraform: consistent variable values for booleans
Fixes #6447

This ensures that all variables of type string are consistently
converted to a string value upon running Terraform.

The place this is done is in the `Variables()` call within the
`terraform` package. This is the function responsible for loading and
merging the variables from the various sources and seems ideal for
proper conversion to consistent values for various types. We actually
already had tests to this effect.

This also adds docs that talk about the fake-ish boolean variables
Terraform currently has and about how in future versions we'll likely
support them properly, which can cause BC issues so beware.

James Nugent cb6cb8b96a core: Support explicit variable type declaration
This commit adds support for declaring variable types in Terraform
configuration. Historically, the type has been inferred from the default
value, defaulting to string if no default was supplied. This has caused
users to devise workarounds if they wanted to declare a map but provide
values from a .tfvars file (for example).

The new syntax adds the "type" key to variable blocks:

```
variable "i_am_a_string" {
    type = "string"
}

variable "i_am_a_map" {
    type = "map"
}
```

This commit does _not_ extend the type system to include bools, integers
or floats - the only two types available are maps and strings.

Validation is performed if a default value is provided in order to
ensure that the default value type matches the declared type.

In the case that a type is not declared, the old logic is used for
determining the type. This allows backwards compatiblity with previous
Terraform configuration.
