Thus far our various interactions with the bits of state we keep
associated with a working directory have all been implemented directly
inside the "command" package -- often in the huge command.Meta type -- and
not managed collectively via a single component.
There's too many little codepaths reading and writing from the working
directory and data directory to refactor it all in one step, but this is
an attempt at a first step towards a future where everything that reads
and writes from the current working directory would do so via an object
that encapsulates the implementation details and offers a high-level API
to read and write all of these session-persistent settings.
The design here continues our gradual path towards using a dependency
injection style where "package main" is solely responsible for directly
interacting with the OS command line, the OS environment, the OS working
directory, the stdio streams, and the CLI configuration, and then
communicating the resulting information to the rest of Terraform by wiring
together objects. It seems likely that eventually we'll have enough wiring
code in package main to justify a more explicit organization of that code,
but for this commit the new "workdir.Dir" object is just wired directly in
place of its predecessors, without any significant change of code
organization at that top layer.
This first commit focuses on the main files and directories we use to
find provider plugins, because a subsequent commit will lightly reorganize
the separation of concerns for plugin launching with a similar goal of
collecting all of the relevant logic together into one spot.
