Martin Atkins 7c6e78bcb0 plans: Track both the previous run and prior states in the plan
Until now we've not really cared much about the state snapshot produced
by the previous Terraform operation, except to use it as a jumping-off
point for our refresh step.

However, we'd like to be able to report to an end-user whenever Terraform
detects a change that occurred outside of Terraform, because that's often
helpful context for understanding why a plan contains changes that don't
seem to have corresponding changes in the configuration.

As part of reporting that we'll need to keep track of the state as it
was before we did any refreshing work, so we can then compare that against
the state after refreshing. To retain enough data to achieve that, the
existing Plan field State is now two fields: PrevRunState and PriorState.

This also includes a very shallow change in the core package to make it
populate something somewhat-reasonable into this field so that integration
tests can function reasonably. However, this shallow implementation isn't
really sufficient for real-world use of PrevRunState because we'll
actually need to update PrevRunState as part of planning in order to
incorporate the results of any provider-specific state upgrades to make
the PrevRunState objects compatible with the current provider schema, or
else our diffs won't be valid. This deeper awareness of PrevRunState in
Terraform Core will follow in a subsequent commit, prior to anything else
making use of Plan.PrevRunState.

Martin Atkins 06adc69e2c plans: Plan.Mode is now Plan.UIMode
This is to make it more obvious at all uses of this field that it's not
something to be used for anything other than UI decisions, hopefully
prompting a reader of code elsewhere to refer to the comments to
understand why it has this unusual prefix and thus see what its intended
purpose is.

Martin Atkins b37b1beddd core: Minimal initial implementation of -replace=... option
This only includes the internal mechanisms to make it work, and not any
of the necessary UI changes to "terraform plan" and "terraform apply" to
activate it yet.

The force-replace options are ultimately handled inside the
NodeAbstractResourceInstance.plan method, at the same place we handle the
similar situation of the provider indicating that replacement is needed,
and so the rest of the changes here are just to propagate the settings
through all of the layers in order to reach that point.

Martin Atkins 1b464e1e9a core: Minimal initial implementation of "refresh only" planning mode
This only includes the core mechanisms to make it work. There's not yet
any way to turn this mode on as an end-user, because we have to do some
more work at the UI layer to present this well before we could include it
as an end-user-visible feature in a release.

At the lowest level of abstraction inside the graph nodes themselves, this
effectively mirrors the existing option to disable refreshing with a new
option to disable change-planning, so that either "half" of the process
can be disabled. As far as the nodes are concerned it would be possible
in principle to disable _both_, but the higher-level representation of
these modes prevents that combination from reaching Terraform Core in
practice, because we block using -refresh-only and -refresh=false at the
same time.

James Bardin 8cef62e455 add state to plans.Plan
Since the refreshed state is now an artifact of the plan process, it
makes sense to add it to the Plan type, rather than adding an additional
return value to the Context.Plan method.

Martin Atkins a3403f2766 terraform: Ugly huge change to weave in new State and Plan types
Due to how often the state and plan types are referenced throughout
Terraform, there isn't a great way to switch them out gradually. As a
consequence, this huge commit gets us from the old world to a _compilable_
new world, but still has a large number of known test failures due to
key functionality being stubbed out.

The stubs here are for anything that interacts with providers, since we
now need to do the follow-up work to similarly replace the old
terraform.ResourceProvider interface with its replacement in the new
"providers" package. That work, along with work to fix the remaining
failing tests, will follow in subsequent commits.

The aim here was to replace all references to terraform.State and its
downstream types with states.State, terraform.Plan with plans.Plan,
state.State with statemgr.State, and switch to the new implementations of
the state and plan file formats. However, due to the number of times those
types are used, this also ended up affecting numerous other parts of core
such as terraform.Hook, the backend.Backend interface, and most of the CLI
commands.

Just as with 5861dbf3fc49b19587a31816eb06f511ab861bb4 before, I apologize
in advance to the person who inevitably just found this huge commit while
spelunking through the commit history.

Martin Atkins 074db88636 plans: Include target addresses in the plan
We shouldn't really need these because the plan is already filtered to
include diffs only for targeted resources, but we currently rely on this
to filter out non-resource items from the diff, and so we'll retain it
for now to avoid reworking how the apply-time graph builder works.

Martin Atkins d9dfd135c6 plans: Include backend settings in plan and plan files
On the first pass here we erroneously assumed that this was redundant with
the backend settings embedded in the configuration itself. In practice,
users can override backend configuration when running "terraform init"
and so we need to record the _effective_ backend configuration.

Along with this, we also return the selected workspace name at the time
the plan was created so we'll later be able to produce a specialized error
for the situation of having the wrong workspace selected. This isn't
strictly required because we'll also check the lineage of the state, but
the error message that would result from that failure would be relatively
opaque and thus less helpful to the user.

Martin Atkins f77e7a61b0 various: helpers for collecting necessary provider types
Since schemas are required to interpret provider, resource, and
provisioner attributes in configs, states, and plans, these helpers intend
to make it easier to gather up the the necessary provider types in order
to preload all of the needed schemas before beginning further processing.

Config.ProviderTypes returns directly the list of provider types, since
at this level further detail is not useful: we've not yet run the
provider allocation algorithm, and so the only thing we can reliably
extract here is provider types themselves.

State.ProviderAddrs and Plan.ProviderAddrs each return a list of
absolute provider addresses, which can then be turned into a list of
provider types using the new helper providers.AddressedTypesAbs.

Since we're already using configs.Config throughout core, this also
updates the terraform.LoadSchemas helper to use Config.ProviderTypes
to find the necessary providers, rather than implementing its own
discovery logic. states.State is not yet plumbed in, so we cannot yet
use State.ProviderAddrs to deal with the state but there's a TODO comment
to remind us to update that in a later commit when we swap out
terraform.State for states.State.

A later commit will probably refactor this further so that we can easily
obtain schema for the providers needed to interpret a plan too, but that
is deferred here because further work is required to make core work with
the new plan types first. At that point, terraform.LoadSchemas may become
providers.LoadSchemas with a different interface that just accepts lists
of provider and provisioner names that have been gathered by the caller
using these new helpers.

Martin Atkins 7357e7f734 plans: New package for in-memory plan models
The types in this package are intended to replace plan- and diff-related
types from the "terraform" package, although those older types must remain
for now so that they can be used to implement shims for older codepaths.

type "Changes" is approximately equivalent to terraform.Diff, but renamed
since it now describes whole objects before and after rather than an
attribute-level diff as before. The term "diff" is now reserved for the
visual rendition of the changes we'll display to the user, although
rendering of this new Changes model is not yet implemented.
