Martin Atkins 4fe9632f09 plugin: Establish our current plugin protocol as version 5
The main significant change here is that the package name for the proto
definition is "tfplugin5", which is important because this name is part
of the wire protocol for references to types defined in our package.

Along with that, we also move the generated package into "internal" to
make it explicit that importing the generated Go package from elsewhere is
not the right approach for externally-implemented SDKs, which should
instead vendor the proto definition they are using and generate their
own stubs to ensure that the wire protocol is the only hard dependency
between Terraform Core and plugins.

After this is merged, any provider binaries built against our
helper/schema package will need to be rebuilt so that they use the new
"tfplugin5" package name instead of "proto".

In a future commit we will include more elaborate and organized
documentation on how an external codebase might make use of our RPC
interface definition to implement an SDK, but the primary concern here
is to ensure we have the right wire package name before release.

Helper Libraries

This folder contains helper libraries for Terraform plugins. A running joke is that this is "Terraform standard library" for plugins. The goal of the packages in this directory are to provide high-level helpers to make it easier to implement the various aspects of writing a plugin for Terraform.
