This method mirrors that of config.Backend, so we can compare the
configration of a backend read from a config vs that of a backend read
from a state. This will prevent init from reinitializing when using
`-backend-config` options that match the existing state.
The `-force-copy` option will suppress confirmation for copying state
data.
Modify some tests to use the option, making sure to leave coverage of
the Input code path.
Fixes#12749
If we merge in an extra partial config we need to recompute the hash to
compare with the old value to detect that change.
This hash needs to NOT be stored and just used as a temporary. We want
to keep the original hash in the state so that we don't detect a change
from the config (since the config will always be partial).
We need to initialize the backend even if the config has no backend set.
This allows `init` to work when unsetting a previously set backend.
Without this, there was no way to unset a backend.
