This interface is meant to replace the following ones (in use by some providers):
- httpclient.UserAgentString() (e.g. AzureRM, Google)
- terraform.UserAgentString (e.g. OpenStack, ProfitBricks)
- terraform.VersionString (e.g. AWS, AzureStack, DigitalOcean, Kubernetes)
This also proposes the initial UA string to be set to
HashiCorp Terraform/X.Y.Z (+https://www.terraform.io)
Sometimes HTTP requests are buried inside third-party libraries where we
can't otherwise access their request method/URL, so this ensures we'll
always have at least a record of the fact that a request happened, even if
there's no other logging for why it did.
We only include the method and URL here under the assumption that
secret keys and other particularly sensitive information will not appear
there, in line with usual best-practices.
