This function deals with turning a map derived from some user input
(e.g. in a config file) into a HostCredentials object, if possible. This
will be used as a standard way to specify credentials so we have a place
to add new credentials types in future and have support for those across
all of our map-based CredentialsSources.
This package implements our Terraform-native Service discovery protocol,
which allows us to find the base URL for a particular service given a
hostname that was already validated and normalized by the svchost package.
We're starting to expose a number of so-called "Terraform-native services"
that can be offered under a friendly hostname. The first of these will
be module registry services, as they expand from the public
Terraform Registry to private registry services within Terraform
Enterprise and elsewhere.
This package is for wrangling these "friendly hostnames", which start
their lives as user-specified unicode strings, can be converted to
Punycode for storage and comparison, and can in turn be converted back
into normalized unicode for display to the user.
