Martin Atkins 30204ecded command/cliconfig: Allow development overrides for providers
For normal provider installation we want to associate each provider with
a selected version number and find a suitable package for that version
that conforms to the official hashes for that release.

Those requirements are very onerous for a provider developer currently
testing a not-yet-released build, though. To allow for that case this new
CLI configuration feature allows overriding specific providers to refer
to give local filesystem directories.

Any provider overridden in this way is not subject to the usual
restrictions about selected versions or checksum conformance, and
activating an override won't cause any changes to the selections recorded
in the lock file because it's intended to be a temporary setting for one
developer only.

This is, in a sense, a spiritual successor of an old capability we had to
override specific plugins in the CLI configuration file. There were
some vestiges of that left in the main package and CLI config package
but nothing has actually been honoring them for several versions now and
so this commit removes them to avoid confusion with the new mechanism.

remove unused code (#26503)
* remove unused code

I've removed the provider-specific code under registry, and unused nil
backend, and replaced a call to helper from backend/oss (the other
callers of that func are provisioners scheduled to be deprecated).

I also removed the Dockerfile, as our build process uses a different
file.

Finally I removed the examples directory, which had outdated examples
and links. There are better, actively maintained examples available.

* command: remove various unused bits

* test wasn't running

* backend: remove unused err

Alisdair McDiarmid b239570abb command: Always validate workspace name
The workspace name can be overridden by setting a TF_WORKSPACE
environment variable. If this is done, we should still validate the
resulting workspace name; otherwise, we could end up with an invalid and
unselectable workspace.

This change updates the Meta.Workspace function to return an error, and
handles that error wherever necessary.

Alisdair McDiarmid 67203dade8 command: Simplify Meta.process helper method
After some refactoring, this helper method had an unused argument (vars)
and an always-nil error return value. This commit cleans this up.

command/validate: warn if unused flags are set on the command line (#22989)
* command/validate: output a warning if unused flags are set

The -var and -var-file command line flags are accepted, but not used,
in `terraform validate`. This PR adds a warning for users who set either
of those flags, so they know that setting them has no effect.

command: discard output from flags package and return errs directly (#22373)
Any command using meta.defaultFlagSet *might* occasionally exit before
the flag package's output got written. This caused flag error messages
to get lost. This PR discards the flag package output in favor of
directly returning the error to the end user.

Martin Atkins 6b6be3af35 command: Remove promise of plan -validate-only from validate docs
We brought forward a new implementation of "terraform validate" that was
originally scheduled for a later release after finding that it would be
simpler than reworking the old implementation for new v0.12 assumptions,
but we didn't yet implement "terraform plan -validate-only" in spite of
it being mentioned in the updated docs for "terraform validate".

For now then, the documentation will make the weaker suggestion of running
"terraform plan" to validate a particular _run_ rather than a particular
_module_, which is the closest thing we have for now. At some point after
v0.12.0 we will evaluate whether a validate-only mode for "terraform plan"
(which could then run without configuring the providers at all) is needed.

Sander van Harmelen ef9054562e commands: make sure the correct flagset is used
A lot of commands used `c.Meta.flagSet()` to create the initial flagset for the command, while quite a few of them didn’t actually use or support the flags that are then added.

So I updated a few commands to use `flag.NewFlagSet()` instead to only add the flags that are actually needed/supported.

Additionally this prevents a few commands from using locking while they actually don’t need locking (as locking is enabled as a default in `c.Meta.flagSet()`.

Martin Atkins eac8779870 command: validate must set values for root variables
Since the intent of the validate command is to check config validity
regardless of context (input variables, state, etc), we use unknown values
of the requested type here, which will then allow us to complete type
checking against the specified types of the variables without assuming
any particular values.

Martin Atkins 9ca13d5c1d command/validate: make sure diagnostics is always present and an array
Previously an empty diagnostics would appear as "null" in the JSON output,
since that is how encoding/json serializes a nil slice. It's more
convenient for users of dynamic languages to keep the type consistent
in all cases, since they can then just iterate the list without needing a
special case for when it is null.

Martin Atkins c937c06a03 terraform: ugly huge change to weave in new HCL2-oriented types
Due to how deeply the configuration types go into Terraform Core, there
isn't a great way to switch out to HCL2 gradually. As a consequence, this
huge commit gets us from the old state to a _compilable_ new state, but
does not yet attempt to fix any tests and has a number of known missing
parts and bugs. We will continue to iterate on this in forthcoming
commits, heading back towards passing tests and making Terraform
fully-functional again.

The three main goals here are:
- Use the configuration models from the "configs" package instead of the
  older models in the "config" package, which is now deprecated and
  preserved only to help us write our migration tool.
- Do expression inspection and evaluation using the functionality of the
  new "lang" package, instead of the Interpolator type and related
  functionality in the main "terraform" package.
- Represent addresses of various objects using types in the addrs package,
  rather than hand-constructed strings. This is not critical to support
  the above, but was a big help during the implementation of these other
  points since it made it much more explicit what kind of address is
  expected in each context.

Since our new packages are built to accommodate some future planned
features that are not yet implemented (e.g. the "for_each" argument on
resources, "count"/"for_each" on modules), and since there's still a fair
amount of functionality still using old-style APIs, there is a moderate
amount of shimming here to connect new assumptions with old, hopefully in
a way that makes it easier to find and eliminate these shims later.

I apologize in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge
commit while spelunking through the commit history.

Martin Atkins 9a004e3f9d command: "terraform validate" JSON support
In the long run we'd like to offer machine-readable output for more
commands, but for now we'll just start with a tactical feature in
"terraform validate" since this is useful for automated testing scenarios,
editor integrations, etc, and doesn't include any representations of types
that are expected to have breaking changes in the near future.

Martin Atkins bfd9392eb8 command: beginnings of new config loader in "terraform validate"
As part of some light reorganization of our commands, this new
implementation no longer does validation of variables and will thus avoid
the need to spin up a fully-valid context. Instead, its focus is on
validating the configuration itself, regardless of any variables, state,
etc.

This change anticipates us later adding a -validate-only flag to
"terraform plan" which will then take over the related use-case of
checking if a particular execution of Terraform is valid, _including_ the
state, variables, etc.

Although leaving variables out of validate feels pretty arbitrary today
while all of the variable sources are local anyway, we have plans to
allow per-workspace variables to be stored in the backend in future and
at that point it will no longer be possible to fully validate variables
without accessing the backend. The "terraform plan" command explicitly
requires access to the backend, while "terraform validate" is now
explicitly for local-only validation of a single module.

In a future commit this will be extended to do basic type checking of
the configuration based on provider schemas, etc.

Martin Atkins 9a5c865040 command: validate config as part of loading it
Previously we required callers to separately call .Validate on the root
module to determine if there were any value errors, but we did that
inconsistently and would thus see crashes in some cases where later code
would try to use invalid configuration as if it were valid.

Now we run .Validate automatically after config loading, returning the
resulting diagnostics. Since we return a diagnostics here, it's possible
to return both warnings and errors.

We return the loaded module even if it's invalid, so callers are free to
ignore returned errors and try to work with the config anyway, though they
will need to be defensive against invalid configuration themselves in
that case.

As a result of this, all of the commands that load configuration now need
to use diagnostic printing to signal errors. For the moment this just
allows us to return potentially-multiple config errors/warnings in full
fidelity, but also sets us up for later when more subsystems are able
to produce rich diagnostics so we can show them all together.

Finally, this commit also removes some stale, commented-out code for the
"legacy" (pre-0.8) graph implementation, which has not been available
for some time.

Martin Atkins ba0514106a return tfdiags.Diagnostics from validation methods
Validation is the best time to return detailed diagnostics
to the user since we're much more likely to have source
location information, etc than we are in later operations.

This change doesn't actually add any detail to the messages
yet, but it changes the interface so that we can gradually
introduce more detailed diagnostics over time.

While here there are some minor adjustments to some of the
messages to improve their consistency with terminology we
use elsewhere.

Martin Atkins 5cd00a13ec command: use new diagnostics output for config errors
This uses the new diagnostics printer for config-related errors in the
main five commands that deal with config.

The immediate motivation for this is to allow HCL2-produced diagnostics
to be printed out in their full fidelity, though it also slightly changes
the presentation of other errors so that they are not presented in all
red text, which can be hard to read on some terminals.
