helper/schema: only mark "ForceNew" on resources that cause the ForceNew
Fixes #2748

This changes the diff to only mark "forces new resource" on the fields
that actually caused the new resource, not every field that changed.
This makes diffs much more accurate.

I'd like to request a review but I'm going to defer merging until
Terraform 0.8. Changes like this are very possible to cause "diffs
didn't match" errors and I want some real world testing in a beta before
we hit prod with this.

helper/schema: computed bool fields should not crash
Fixes #7715

If a bool field was computed and the raw value was not convertable to a
boolean, helper/schema would crash. The correct behavior is to try not
to read the raw value when the value is computed and to simply mark that
it is computed. This does that (and matches the behavior of the other
primitives).

helper/schema: removed optional items force new
Fixes #5138

If an item is optional and is removed completely from the configuration,
it should still trigger a destroy/create if the field itself was marked
as "ForceNew".

See the example in #5138.

helper/experiment: a helper for setting, making experiments
This creates a standard package and interface for defining, querying,
setting experiments (`-X` flags).

I expect we'll want to continue to introduce various features behind
experimental flags. I want to make doing this as easy as possible and I
want to make _removing_ experiments as easy as possible as well.

The goal with this packge has been to rely on the compiler enforcing our
experiment references as much as possible. This means that every
experiment is a global variable that must be referenced directly, so
when it is removed you'll get compiler errors where the experiment is
referenced.

This also unifies and makes it easy to grab CLI flags to enable/disable
experiments as well as env vars! This way defining an experiment is just
a couple lines of code (documented on the package).

helper/schema,terraform: handle computed primtives in diffs
Fixes #3309

There are two primary changes, one to how helper/schema creates diffs
and one to how Terraform compares diffs. Both require careful
understanding.

== 1. helper/schema Changes

helper/schema, given any primitive field (string, int, bool, etc.)
_used to_ create a basic diff when given a computed new value (i.e. from
an unkown interpolation). This would put in the plan that the old value
is whatever the old value was, and the new value was the actual
interpolation. For example, from #3309, the diff showed the following:

```
~ module.test.aws_eip.test-instance.0
    instance: "<INSTANCE ID>" => "${element(aws_instance.test-instance.*.id, count.index)}"
```

Then, when running `apply`, the diff would be realized and you would get
a diff mismatch error because it would realize the final value is the
same and remove it from the diff.

**The change:** `helper/schema` now marks unknown primitive values with
`NewComputed` set to true. Semantically this is correct for the diff to
have this information.

== 2. Terraform Diff.Same Changes

Next, the way Terraform compares diffs needed to be updated

Specifically, the case where the diff from the plan had a NewComputed
primitive and the diff from the apply _no longer has that value_. This
is possible if the computed value ended up being the same as the old
value. This is allowed to pass through.

Together, these fix #3309.

config/module: use the raw source as part of the key
This changes the key for the storage to be the _raw_ source from the
module, not the fully expanded source. Example: it'll be a relative path
instead of an absolute path.

This allows the ".terraform/modules" directory to be portable when
moving to other machines. This was a behavior that existed in <= 0.7.2
and was broken with #8398. This amends that and adds a test to verify.

James Nugent 85ec09111b helper/schema: Add diff suppression callback
This commit adds a new callback, DiffSuppressFunc, to  the schema.Schema
structure. If set for a given schema, a callback to the user-supplied
function will be made for each attribute for which the default
type-based diff mechanism produces an attribute diff. Returning `true`
from the callback will suppress the diff (i.e. pretend there was no
diff), and returning false will retain it as part of the plan.

There are a number of motivating examples for this - one of which is
included as an example:

1. On SSH public keys, trailing whitespace does not matter in many
   cases - and in some cases it is added by provider APIs. For
   digitalocean_ssh_key resources we previously had a StateFunc that
   trimmed the whitespace - we now have a DiffSuppressFunc which
   verifies whether the trimmed strings are equivalent.

2. IAM policy equivalence for AWS. A good proportion of AWS issues
   relate to IAM policies which have been "normalized" (used loosely)
   by the IAM API endpoints. This can make the JSON strings differ
   from those generated by iam_policy_document resources or template
   files, even though the semantics are the same (for example,
   reordering of `bucket-prefix/` and `bucket-prefix/*` in an S3
   bucket policy. DiffSupressFunc can be used to test for semantic
   equivalence rather than pure text equivalence, but without having to
   deal with the complexity associated with a full "provider-land" diff
   implementation without helper/schema.

The length of the ID returned by PrefixedUniqueId is not changed by this
commit; that way we don't break any resources where the underlying
resource has a name length limit.

core: rerun resource validation before plan and apply
In #7170 we found two scenarios where the type checking done during the
`context.Validate()` graph walk was circumvented, and the subsequent
assumption of type safety in the provider's `Diff()` implementation
caused panics.

Both scenarios have to do with interpolations that reference Computed
values. The sentinel we use to indicate that a value is Computed does
not carry any type information with it yet.

That means that an incorrect reference to a list or a map in a string
attribute can "sneak through" validation only to crop up...

 1. ...during Plan for Data Source References
 2. ...during Apply for Resource references

In order to address this, we:

 * add high-level tests for each of these two scenarios in `provider/test`
 * add context-level tests for the same two scenarios in `terraform`
   (these tests proved _really_ tricky to write!)
 * place an `EvalValidateResource` just before `EvalDiff` and `EvalApply` to
   catch these errors
 * add some plumbing to `Plan()` and `Apply()` to return validation
   errors, which were previously only generated during `Validate()`
 * wrap unit-tests around `EvalValidateResource`
 * add an `IgnoreWarnings` option to `EvalValidateResource` to prevent
   active warnings from halting execution on the second-pass validation

Eventually, we might be able to attach type information to Computed
values, which would allow for these errors to be caught earlier. For
now, this solution keeps us safe from panics and raises the proper
errors to the user.

James Nugent dbf725bd68 core: Allow dynamic attributes in helper/schema
The helper/schema framework for building providers previously validated
in all cases that each field being set in state was in the schema.
However, in order to support remote state in a usable fashion, the need
has arisen for the top level attributes of the resource to be created
dynamically. In order to still be able to use helper/schema, this commit
adds the capability to assign additional fields.

Though I do not forsee this being used by providers other than remote
state (and that eventually may move into Terraform Core rather than
being a provider), the usage and semantics are:

To opt into dynamic attributes, add a schema attribute named
"__has_dynamic_attributes", and make it an optional string with no
default value, in order that it does not appear in diffs:

        "__has_dynamic_attributes": {
            Type: schema.TypeString
            Optional: true
        }

In the read callback, use the d.UnsafeSetFieldRaw(key, value) function
to set the dynamic attributes.

Note that other fields in the schema _are_ copied into state, and that
the names of the schema fields cannot currently be used as dynamic
attribute names, as we check to ensure a value is not already set for a
given key.

TF_ACC environment variable. This should only be used on tests which are
known to be fast.

James Bardin d8fbaa7924 Serialization for hash panics on TypeMap
The serializeCollectionMemberForHash helper can't be called for the
MapType values, because MapType doesn't have a schema.Elem. Instead, we
can write the key/value pairs directly to the buffer. This still doesn't
allow for nested maps or lists, but we need to define that use case
before committing to it here.

James Nugent 074545e536 core: Use .% instead of .# for maps in state
The flatmapped representation of state prior to this commit encoded maps
and lists (and therefore by extension, sets) with a key corresponding to
the number of elements, or the unknown variable indicator under a .# key
and then individual items. For example, the list ["a", "b", "c"] would
have been encoded as:

    listname.# = 3
    listname.0 = "a"
    listname.1 = "b"
    listname.2 = "c"

And the map {"key1": "value1", "key2", "value2"} would have been encoded
as:

    mapname.# = 2
    mapname.key1 = "value1"
    mapname.key2 = "value2"

Sets use the hash code as the key - for example a set with a (fictional)
hashcode calculation may look like:

    setname.# = 2
    setname.12312512 = "value1"
    setname.56345233 = "value2"

Prior to the work done to extend the type system, this was sufficient
since the internal representation of these was effectively the same.
However, following the separation of maps and lists into distinct
first-class types, this encoding presents a problem: given a state file,
it is impossible to tell the encoding of an empty list and an empty map
apart. This presents problems for the type checker during interpolation,
as many interpolation functions will operate on only one of these two
structures.

This commit therefore changes the representation in state of maps to use
a "%" as the key for the number of elements. Consequently the map above
will now be encoded as:

    mapname.% = 2
    mapname.key1 = "value1"
    mapname.key2 = "value2"

This has the effect of an empty list (or set) now being encoded as:

    listname.# = 0

And an empty map now being encoded as:

    mapname.% = 0

Therefore we can eliminate some nasty guessing logic from the resource
variable supplier for interpolation, at the cost of having to migrate
state up front (to follow in a subsequent commit).

In order to reduce the number of potential situations in which resources
would be "forced new", we continue to accept "#" as the count key when
reading maps via helper/schema. There is no situation under which we can
allow "#" as an actual map key in any case, as it would not be
distinguishable from a list or set in state.

James Nugent cb9ef298f3 core: Defeat backward compatibilty in mapstructure
The mapstructure library has a regrettable backward compatibility
concern whereby a WeakDecode of []interface{}{} into a target of
map[string]interface{} yields an empty map rather than an error. One
possibility is to switch to using Decode instead of WeakDecode, but this
loses the nice handling of type conversion, requiring a large volume of
code to be added to Terraform or HIL in order to retain that behaviour.

Instead we add a DecodeHook to our usage of the mapstructure library
which checks for decoding []interface{}{} or []string{} into a map and
returns an error instead.

This has the effect of defeating the code added to retain backwards
compatibility in mapstructure, giving us the correct (for our
circumstances) behaviour of Decode for empty structures and the type
conversion of WeakDecode.

The code is identical to that in the HIL library, and packaged into a
helper.
