Martin Atkins 671aace8ec backend/local: disable local backup of remote state
Previously we forced all remote state backends to be wrapped in a
BackupState wrapper that generates a local "terraform.tfstate.backup"
file before updating the remote state.

This backup mechanism was motivated by allowing users to recover a
previous state if user error caused an undesirable change such as loss
of the record of one or more resources. However, it also has the downside
of flushing a possibly-sensitive state to local disk in a location where
users may not realize its purpose and accidentally check it into version
control. Those using remote state would generally prefer that state never
be flushed to local disk at all.

The use-case of recovering older states can be dealt with for remote
backends by selecting a backend that has preservation of older versions
as a first-class feature, such as S3 versioning or Terraform Enterprise's
first-class historical state versioning mechanism.

There remains still one case where state can be flushed to local disk: if
a write to the remote backend fails during "terraform apply" then we will
still create the "errored.tfstate" file to allow the user to recover. This
seems like a reasonable compromise because this is done only in an
_exceptional_ case, and the console output makes it very clear that this
file has been created.

Fixes #15339.

Martin Atkins 418a8a8bc9 command + backend: rename various API objects to "Workspace" terminology
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.

James Bardin 563cfd00df always wrap remote state in a BackupState
Use a local backup for remote state operations. This allows for manual
recovery in the case of a put failure.

James Bardin 7b8e1aff3d fix local backend test
The local backend can't define a StateOut path if we want to test
writing multiple named state files. Use a default local backend.

backend/local: run backend.TestBackend
This verifies that local behaves in an expected way by the backend
package.

James Bardin 4dac986a91 Local.StatePaths doesn't need to reutrn an error
add a test to ensure we have consistent output

James Bardin 65527f35a4 update local.Local to match the latest Backend
Update the methods, remove the handling of "current", and make tests
pass.

James Bardin e6eb71dde5 Add tests to check Backend delegation
Ensure that when MultiState methods are properly delegated when there is
a defined Local.Backend.

Add the functionality required for terraform environments

command: use backend.CLIIinit
I made this interface way back with the original backend work and I
guess I forgot to hook it up! This is becoming an issue as I'm working
on our 2nd enhanced backend that requires this information and I
realized it was hardcoded before.

This propertly uses the CLIInit interface allowing any backend to gain
access to this data.

backend/local
The local backend implementation is an implementation of
backend.Enhanced that recreates all the behavior of the CLI but through
the backend interface.
