Support for attributes with NestedTypes was added in https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/pull/28055, and should have included a format version bump: this is a backwards-compatible change, but consumers will need to be updated in order to properly decode attributes (with NestedTypes) going forward.
This PR extends jsonprovider to support attributes with NestedTypes and extends test coverage in jsonprovider and the providers schemas tests. I've also cleaned up some comments and extracted the logic to parse the nesting mode so it can be used in both marshalling blocks and attributes.
* command: refactor testBackendState to write states.State
testBackendState was using the older terraform.State format, which is no
longer sufficient for most tests since the state upgrader does not
encode provider FQNs automatically. Users will run `terraform
0.13upgrade` to update their state to include provider FQNs in
resources, but tests need to use the modern state format instead of
relying on the automatic upgrade.
* plan tests passing
* graph tests passing
* json packages test update

* state show tests passing
Implement a new provider_meta block in the terraform block of modules, allowing provider-keyed metadata to be communicated from HCL to provider binaries.
Bundled in this change for minimal protocol version bumping is the addition of markdown support for attribute descriptions and the ability to indicate when an attribute is deprecated, so this information can be shown in the schema dump.

This is a stepping-stone PR for the provider source project. In this PR
"legcay-stype" FQNs are created from the provider name string. Future
work involves encoding the FQN directly in the AbsProviderConfig and
removing the calls to addrs.NewLegacyProvider().
In study of existing providers we've found a pattern we werent previously
accounting for of using a nested block type to represent a group of
arguments that relate to a particular feature that is always enabled but
where it improves configuration readability to group all of its settings
together in a nested block.
The existing NestingSingle was not a good fit for this because it is
designed under the assumption that the presence or absence of the block
has some significance in enabling or disabling the relevant feature, and
so for these always-active cases we'd generate a misleading plan where
the settings for the feature appear totally absent, rather than showing
the default values that will be selected.
NestingGroup is, therefore, a slight variation of NestingSingle where
presence vs. absence of the block is not distinguishable (it's never null)
and instead its contents are treated as unset when the block is absent.
This then in turn causes any default values associated with the nested
arguments to be honored and displayed in the plan whenever the block is
not explicitly configured.
The current SDK cannot activate this mode, but that's okay because its
"legacy type system" opt-out flag allows it to force a block to be
processed in this way anyway. We're adding this now so that we can
introduce the feature in a future SDK without causing a breaking change
to the protocol, since the set of possible block nesting modes is not
extensible.
* command/providers schemas: return empty json object if config parses successfully but no providers found
* command/show (state): return an empty object if state is nil
