These changes remove all of the preexisting version checking for
individual features, wiping the slate clean with an overall minimum
requirement of a future TFP-API-Version 2.5, which at the time of this
writing is expected to be TFE v202112-1.
It also actually provides that expected TFE version as an actionable
error message, rather than generically saying that it isn't supported or
using the somewhat opaque API version header.
The cloud package intends to implement a new integration for
Terraform Cloud/Enterprise. The purpose of this integration is to better
support TFC users; it will shed some overly generic UX and architecture,
behavior changes that are otherwise backwards incompatible in the remote
backend, and technical debt - all of which are vestiges from before
Terraform Cloud existed.
This initial commit is largely a porting of the existing 'remote'
backend, which will serve as an underlying implementation detail and not
be a typical user-level backend. This is because to re-implement the
literal backend interface is orthogonal to the purpose of this
integration, and can always be migrated away from later.
As this backend is considered an implementation detail, it will not be
registered as a declarable backend. Within these changes it is, for easy
of initial development and a clean diff.
