A common issue with new resource implementations is not considering parts
of a complex structure that's used inside a set, which causes quirky
behavior.
The schema helper has enough information to provide a default reasonable
implementation of a set function that includes all non-computed attributes
in a deterministic way. Here we implement such a function and use it
when no explicit hashing function is provided.
In order to achieve this we encapsulate the construction of the zero
value for a schema in a new method schema.ZeroValue, which allows us to
put the fallback logic to the new default function in a single spot.
It is no longer valid to use &Set{F: schema.Set} and all uses of that
construct should be replaced with schema.ZeroValue().(*Set) .
Now that readMap filters out '#' fields, when maps are nested in sets,
we exposed a related bug where a set was iterating over nested maps and
expected the '#' key to be present in those nested maps.
By skipping _all_ count fields when iterating over set keys, all is
right with the world again.
An `InstanceDiff` will include `ResourceAttrDiff` entries for the
"length" / `#` field of maps. This makes sense, since for something like
`terraform plan` it's useful to see when counts are changing.
The `DiffFieldReader` was not taking these entries into account when
reading maps out, and was therefore incorrectly returning maps that
included an extra `'#'` field, which was causing all sorts of havoc
for providers (extra tags on AWS instances, broken google compute
instance launch, possibly others).
