website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading (#18973)
website: Reconcile docs about plugin discovery and downloading

I'm attempting to keep things simple for normal users while making sure we've
got the full behavior written down somewhere for plugin developers.

This commit doesn't stand alone; it's paired with a commit in the
terraform-website repo, to deal with some related content in the "extend"
section.

Martin Atkins f19bf25945 website: don't recommend "providers" block in CLI config
This mechanism for configuring plugins is now deprecated, since it's not
capable of declaring plugin versions. Instead, we recommend just placing
plugins into a particular directory, which is now documented on the
main providers documentation page and linked from the more detailed docs
on plugins in general.

Clint e2272f71a0 Update our documentation to push "Getting Started" better (#15866)
* update plugin/provider to make clear this section isn't needed for regular use

* add some links and notes about getting started

* remove the mention of binaries... I 'm not sure it's needed yet

* 'Installing Terraform Providers' section

* sometimes I can't words good

* move the 'installing providers' block

* cleanup of terms

* copy that update to plugins/provider too

Nick Fagerlund 8c7bfde292 Docs: Fix broken links and a broken example
These links were casualties of the core/provider split. There was also
an example that suggested cloning a subdirectory of a git repo.

Martin Atkins c57dbebe84 documentation: explain provider dev environment setup
The intent here is just to introduce some initial docs on our recommended
way to develop plugins in the same GOPATH as Terraform itself. The
documentation in this area needs some more fundamental rework as it is
rather outdated and mis-organized, but that's outside the scope of what
this change is trying to achieve.
