This will provide the functionality of "terraform init -from-module=...",
which uses the contents of a given module to populate the working
directory.
This mechanism is intended for installing e.g. examples from Terraform
Registry or elsewhere. It's not fully-general since it can't reasonably
install a module from a subdir that refers up to a parent directory, but
that isn't an issue for all reasonable uses of this option.
