There can only be a single access_log configuration per load balancer
so choosing to use a list over a set is only relevant when comparing
changes during a plan. A list makes it much easier to compare updates
since the index is stable (0 vs. computed hash).
This test presents itself in an awkward manner as part of the AWS test
suite rather than the core test suite - this is because you cannot use
real providers in context tests because of circular references, and
simplistic test providers in that package do not demonstrate the issue.
In the interests of getting this fix in quickly and still having
regression coverage for it, it was agreed to include the change here
instead.
Running the test TestAccAWSVPC_coreMismatchedDiffs without the changes
in d95ab75 applied leads to the following output:
```
$ make testacc TEST=./builtin/providers/aws TESTARGS="-run TestAccAWSVPC_coreMismatchedDiffs"

Applying the changes in d95ab75 (pull request GH-4965) yields the
following result when running the test:
```
$ make testacc TEST=./builtin/providers/aws TESTARGS="-run TestAccAWSVPC_coreMismatchedDiffs"

The test has a rather misleading name ("AWS") such that it is actually run as
part of the nightly acceptance testing. The VPC resource is quick and free to
create, hence the selection.
