// AttrType is an enum that tells the ResourceBuilder what type of attribute
// an attribute is, affecting the overall diff output.
//
// The valid values are:
//
//   * AttrTypeCreate - This attribute can only be set or updated on create.
//       This means that if this attribute is changed, it will require a new
//       resource to be created if it is already created.
//
//   * AttrTypeUpdate - This attribute can be set at create time or updated
//       in-place. Changing this attribute does not require a new resource.
