These new functions allow Terraform to be used for network address space
planning tasks, and make it easier to produce reusable modules that
contain or depend on network infrastructure.
For example:
- cidrsubnet allows an aws_subnet to derive its
CIDR prefix from its parent aws_vpc.
- cidrhost allows a fixed IP address for a resource to be assigned within
an address range defined elsewhere.
- cidrnetmask provides the dotted-decimal form of a prefix length that is
accepted by some systems such as routing tables and static network
interface configuration files.
The bulk of the work here is done by an external library I authored called
go-cidr. It is MIT licensed and was implemented primarily for the purpose
of using it within Terraform. It has its own unit tests and so the unit
tests within this change focus on simple success cases and on the correct
handling of the various error cases.
* Update init docs to be correct, and provide an example.
* Update remote config docs to provide more details about the Consul
backend and to provide another example.
Since we merged this so that the community could collaborate on
improvements, I thought it would be prudent to inform potential users of
the status of the provider so they know what to expect.

The `ForceDelete` parameter was getting sent to the upstream API call,
but only after we had already finished draining instances from
Terraform, so it was a moot point by then.
This fixes that by skipping the drain when force_delete is true, and it
also simplifies the field config a bit:
* set a default of false to simplify the logic
* remove `ForceNew` since there's no need to replace the resource to
flip this value
* pull a detail comment from code into the docs
Why:
* The current example for passing arguments to a local script does not
include making the uploaded file executable.
This change addresses the need by:
* Add a step to make the uploaded script executable to the example
showing how to pass arguments to an uploaded script.
