In the heirarchy, both "Terraform Language" and "Functions" are "up" from
the individual function reference pages, so we'll class them as such to
use the back-facing arrow instead of the forward-facing arrow.
Previously we just listed out all of the functions in alphabetical order
inside the "Interpolation Syntax" page, but that format doesn't leave much
room for details and usage examples.
Now we give each function its own page, and categorize them for easier
navigation. While many functions are very simple and don't really warrant
a full page, certain functions do have additional details that are worth
mentioning and this structure scales better for those more complicated
functions.
So far this includes only the numeric and string functions. Other
categories will follow in subsequent commits.
With the additional configuration language features coming in Terraform
v0.12, our existing documentation structure is beginning to strain.
Here we reorganize the navigation slightly in order to introduce the
concepts in a more appropriate order so that we can reveal complexity
more gradually. Subsequent commits will revise the content of these
pages to better reflect the new sequencing.
The "Environment Variables" page is moved from the Configuration section
into the "Commands" section, since it is not considered a part of the
configuration language and thus more appropriate in the CLI documentation.
The old placement is reflective of the broader purpose that the
"Configuration" section had originally, but its new focus will be on
the Terraform language (.tf files) in particular, with other aspects of
customizing Terraforms behavior covered in other sections.
Also:
- In the getting started guide, the TFE content was all tailored to the older
run-locally workflow. I've replaced it with some brief explanation and a link
to the dedicated TFE getting started guide.
- Fixed a sidebar link glitch in the configuration section. (Both "Terraform"
and "Terraform Enterprise" were marked as active if you were on the TFE page.)
- Renamed the "Terraform Enterprise" page "Terraform Push." (Some people have
gotten confused and landed on this page when trying to set up the `atlas`
remote backend.)
We have outgrown the single flat list presentation of providers due to the shear number now present, so we'll move here to a model where the providers are split into a number of categories that each contain a smaller list.
The full list is still included in the body of the main index page for quick access via search, but the categories make for a more accessible navbar for those who are just browsing.

The "terraform" provider was previously split out into its own repository,
but that turned out to be a mistake due to how tightly it depends on
aspects of Terraform Core.
Here we prepare to bring it back into the core repository by reorganizing
the directory layout to conform with what's expected there.
Now includes more complete information on usage of private registries and
updates the module registry API documentation to include the new
version-enumeration endpoint along with describing Terraform's discovery
protocol.
