This is not strictly necessary, but since this is not a
performance-critical codepath we'll do this because it makes life easier
for callers that want to print out user-facing logs about build process,
or who are logging actions taken as part of a unit test.
Previously the behavior for loading and installing modules was included in
the same package as the representation of the module tree (in the
config/module package).
In our new world, the model of a module tree (now called a "Config") is
included in "configs" along with the Module and File structs. This new
package replaces the loading and installation functionality previously
in config/module with new equivalents that work with the model objects
in "configs".
As of this commit, only the loading functionality is implemented. The
installation functionality will follow in subsequent commits.
BuildConfig creates a module tree by recursively walking through module
calls in the root module and any descendent modules. This is intended to
be used both for the simple case of loading already-installed modules and
the more complex case of installing modules inside "terraform init", both
of which will be dealt with in a separate package.
