website: Beginnings of "Functions" configuration section Previously we just listed out all of the functions in alphabetical order inside the "Interpolation Syntax" page, but that format doesn't leave much room for details and usage examples. Now we give each function its own page, and categorize them for easier navigation. While many functions are very simple and don't really warrant a full page, certain functions do have additional details that are worth mentioning and this structure scales better for those more complicated functions. So far this includes only the numeric and string functions. Other categories will follow in subsequent commits.

# `pow` Function
website: Version notes: Add new -> old links to 0.12 language docs (function pages)

-> **Note:** This page is about Terraform 0.12 and later. For Terraform 0.11 and
earlier, see
[0.11 Configuration Language: Interpolation Syntax](../../configuration-0-11/interpolation.html).
website: Structural edit of configuration language docs This commit is a wide-ranging set of edits to the pages under /docs/configuration. Among other things, it - Separates style conventions out into their own page. - Separates type constraints and conversion info into their own page. - Conflates similar complex types a little more freely, since the distinction is only relevant when restricting inputs for a reusable module or resource. - Clarifies several concepts that confused me during edits.

`pow` calculates an exponent, by raising its first argument to the power of the second argument.
