core: targeted operations Add `-target=resource` flag to core operations, allowing users to target specific resources in their infrastructure. When `-target` is used, the operation will only apply to that resource and its dependencies. The calculated dependencies are different depending on whether we're running a normal operation or a `terraform destroy`. Generally, "dependencies" refers to ancestors: resources falling _before_ the target in the graph, because their changes are required to accurately act on the target. For destroys, "dependencies" are descendents: those resources which fall _after_ the target. These resources depend on our target, which is going to be destroyed, so they should also be destroyed. 2015-03-24 17:18:15 +01:00			`resource "test_instance" "foo" {`
