We added the description field in 0.9 but we never parsed it because we
didn't have a use for it. As we prepare to use this field, let's start
parsing it out
Previously resources were assumed to always support the full set of
create, read, update and delete operations, and Terraform's resource
management lifecycle.
Data sources introduce a new kind of resource that only supports the
"read" operation. To support this, a new "Mode" field is added to
the Resource concept within the config layer, which can be set to
ManagedResourceMode (to indicate the only mode previously possible) or
DataResourceMode (to indicate that only "read" is supported).
To support both managed and data resources in the tests, the
stringification of resources in config_string.go is adjusted slightly
to use the Id() method rather than the unusual type[name] serialization
from before, causing a simple mechanical adjustment to the loader tests'
expected result strings.
This commit adds support for declaring variable types in Terraform
configuration. Historically, the type has been inferred from the default
value, defaulting to string if no default was supplied. This has caused
users to devise workarounds if they wanted to declare a map but provide
values from a .tfvars file (for example).
The new syntax adds the "type" key to variable blocks:
```
variable "i_am_a_string" {
type = "string"
}
variable "i_am_a_map" {
type = "map"
}
```
This commit does _not_ extend the type system to include bools, integers
or floats - the only two types available are maps and strings.
Validation is performed if a default value is provided in order to
ensure that the default value type matches the declared type.
In the case that a type is not declared, the old logic is used for
determining the type. This allows backwards compatiblity with previous
Terraform configuration.
