This is a rather-messy, complex change to get the "command" package
building again against the new backend API that was updated for
the new configuration loader.
A lot of this is mechanical rewriting to the new API, but
meta_config.go and meta_backend.go in particular saw some major
changes to interface with the new loader APIs and to deal with
the change in order of steps in the backend API.
In order to use a backend for the state commands, we need an initialized
meta. Use a single Meta instance rather than temporary ones to make sure
the backends are initialized properly.
When using a `state` command, if the `-state` flag is provided we do not
want to modify the Backend state. In this case we should always create a
local state instance.
The backup flag was also being ignored, and some tests were relying on
that, which have been fixed.
We're shifting terminology from "environment" to "workspace". This takes
care of some of the main internal API surface that was using the old
terminology, though is not intended to be entirely comprehensive and is
mainly just to minimize the amount of confusion for maintainers as we
continue moving towards eliminating the old terminology.
Add Env and SetEnv methods to command.Meta to retrieve the current
environment name inside any command.
Make sure all calls to Backend.State contain an environment name, and
make the package compile against the update backend package.
Fixes#12154
The "-backup" flag before for "state *" CLI had some REALLY bizarre behavior:
it would change the _destination_ state and actually not create any
additional backup at all (the original state was unchanged and the
normal timestamped backup still are written). Really weird.
This PR makes the -backup flag work as you'd expect with one caveat:
we'll _still_ create the timestamped backup file. The timestamped backup
file helps make sure that you always get a backup history when using
these commands. We don't want to make it easy for you to overwrite a
state with the `-backup` flag.
