The context used for Stop is more appropriately tied to the lifetime of
the provisioner rather than a call to the ProvisionResource method. In
some cases Stop can be called before ProvisionResource, causing a panic
the provisioner. Rather than adding nil checks to the CancelFunc call
for Stop, create a base context to use for cancellation with both Stop

Due to an incorrect slice allocation, the environment variable list was created with an empty string

It appears that this was silently ignored on Unix, but caused the following environment settings

This new argument allows overriding of the working directory of the child process, with the default still being the working directory of Terraform itself.
If the shell spawns a subprocess which doesn't close the output file
descriptors, the exec.Cmd will block on Wait() (see
golang.org/issue/18874). Use an os.Pipe to provide the command with a
real file descriptor so the exec package doesn't need to do the copy
manually. This in turn may block our own reading goroutine, but we can
select on that and leave it for cleanup later.
