Implement a new provider_meta block in the terraform block of modules, allowing provider-keyed metadata to be communicated from HCL to provider binaries.
Bundled in this change for minimal protocol version bumping is the addition of markdown support for attribute descriptions and the ability to indicate when an attribute is deprecated, so this information can be shown in the schema dump.

Send Private data blob through ReadResource as well. This will allow for
extra flexibility for future providers that may want to pass data out of
band through to their resource Read functions.
The grpc server does not shutdown when the listener is closed. Since
tests aren't run through go-plugin, which has a separate RPC Shutdown
channel to stop the server, we need to track and stop the server
directly.
Some providers may generate quite large schemas, and the internal
default grpc response size limit is 4MB. 64MB should cover most any use
case, and if we get providers nearing that we may want to consider a
finer-grained API to fetch individual resource schemas.
Due to the inprecision of our shimming from the legacy SDK type system to
the new Terraform Core type system, the legacy SDK produces a number of
inconsistencies that produce only minor quirky behavior or broken
edge-cases. To retain compatibility with those existing weird behaviors,
the legacy SDK opts out of our safety checks.
The intent here is to allow existing providers to continue to do their
previous unsafe behaviors for now, accepting that this will allow certain
quirky bugs from previous releases to persist, and then gradually migrate
away from the legacy SDK and remove this opt-out on a per-resource basis
over time.
As with the apply-time safety check opt-out, this is reserved only for
the legacy SDK and must not be used in any new SDK implementations. We
still include any inconsistencies as warnings in the logs as an aid to
anyone debugging weird behavior, so that they can see situations where
blame may be misplaced in the user-visible error messages.
The shim layer for the legacy SDK type system is not precise enough to
guarantee it will produce identical results between plan and apply. In
particular, values that are null during plan will often become zero-valued
during apply.
To avoid breaking those existing providers while still allowing us to
introduce this check in the future, we'll introduce a rather-hacky new
flag that allows the legacy SDK to signal that it is the legacy SDK and
thus disable the check.
Once we start phasing out the legacy SDK in favor of one that natively
understands our new type system, we can stop setting this flag and thus
get the additional safety of this check without breaking any
previously-released providers.
No other SDK is permitted to set this flag, and we will remove it if we
ever introduce protocol version 6 in future, assuming that any provider
supporting that protocol will always produce consistent results.
Previously we were using the type name requested in the import to select
the schema, but a provider is free to return additional objects of other
types as part of an import result, and so it's important that we perform
schema selection separately for each returned object.
If we don't do this, we get confusing downstream errors where the
resulting object decodes to the wrong type and breaks various invariants
expected by Terraform Core.
The testResourceImportOther test in the test provider didn't catch this
previously because it happened to have an identical schema to the other
resource type being imported. Now the schema is changed and also there's
a computed attribute we can set as part of the refresh phase to make sure
we're completing the Read call properly during import. Refresh was working
correctly, but we didn't have any tests for it as part of the import flow.
Any state modifying functions can only be run once during the plan-apply
cycle. When regenerating the Diff during ApplyResourceChange, strip out
all StateFunc and CustomizeDiff functions from the schema.
Thew NewExtra diff field was where config data that was modified by a
StateFunc was stored, and needs to be maintained between plan and apply.
During PlanResourceChange, store any NewExtra data from the Diff in the
PlannedPrivate data, and re-insert the NewExtra data into the Diff
generated during ApplyResourceChange.
The main significant change here is that the package name for the proto
definition is "tfplugin5", which is important because this name is part
of the wire protocol for references to types defined in our package.
Along with that, we also move the generated package into "internal" to
make it explicit that importing the generated Go package from elsewhere is
not the right approach for externally-implemented SDKs, which should
instead vendor the proto definition they are using and generate their
own stubs to ensure that the wire protocol is the only hard dependency
between Terraform Core and plugins.
After this is merged, any provider binaries built against our
helper/schema package will need to be rebuilt so that they use the new
"tfplugin5" package name instead of "proto".
In a future commit we will include more elaborate and organized
documentation on how an external codebase might make use of our RPC
interface definition to implement an SDK, but the primary concern here
is to ensure we have the right wire package name before release.
Previously we just left these out of the plan altogether, but in the new
plan types we intentionally include change information for every resource
instance, even if no changes are actually planned, to allow alternative
plan file viewers to show what isn't changing as well as what is.
Managing which function need to be shared between the terraform plugin
and the helper plugin without creating cycles was becoming difficult.
Move all functions related to converting between terraform and proto
type into plugin/convert.
Here we add the GRPCProvisioner and GRPCProvider which implement the
core provisioners.Interface and providers.Interface, and translate
betweeen the core types and the grpc protocol.
