website: Update module-registry-protocol.html.md (#26639)
* Update module-registry-protocol.html.md

1: There is a mismatch in the segment labels for the version query URL (system vs provider)
2: There is a discrepancy between the documentation and the actual generated request for retrieving module source code (URL segments 4 vs 3)
 - There is no segment for "provider"

* Update module-registry-protocol.html.md

Changed ```:system``` to ```:provider``` for versions and source API URLs

Martin Atkins ddf9635af6 website: Don't claim that things are "very easy"
We typically try to avoid making subjective, boasty claims in our
documentation in recent times, but there remained both some older
documentation that we've not recently revised and also some newer examples
that are, in retrospect, also perhaps more "boasty" than they need to be.

We prefer not to use this sort of boasty language because not everyone
using Terraform has the same background and experience, and so what is
"easy" or "intuitive" to one person may not be so to another person, and
that should not suggest that the second person is in any way wrong or
inadequate.

In reviewing some of our use of the word "easy" here I tried as much as
possible to surgically revise the existing content without getting drawn
into a big rewrite, but in some cases the content was either pretty
unsalvageable (due to talking about obsolete features that were removed
long ago) or required some broader changes to make the result hopefully
still get the same facts across. In those cases I've both removed some
content entirely or adjusted larger paragraphs.

This was not an exhaustive review and so I'm sure there's still plenty of
room for similar improvements elsewhere. I also resisted the urge to
update some pages that contain outdated information about currently-active
features.

Martin Atkins 6a44586a8f website: Update the CLI commands index page for latest help output
My initial motivation here was to update the example output from
Terraform's top-level help list to match recent updates in the layout
and language used.

However, while here I took the opportunity to update some dated language
that was not consistent with our modern documentation writing style,
in particular including a totally unnecessary and potentially-alienating
claim that Terraform is "very easy to use". Our modern writing style
discourages this sort of "boastful" language and encourages us to focus on
the facts at hand.

lang/funcs: "anytrue" function
This is an analog to the "alltrue" function, using OR as the reduce
operator rather than AND.

This also includes some simplification of the "alltrue" implementation
to implement it similarly as a sort of reduce operation with AND
as the reduce operator, but with the same effective behavior.

Martin Atkins 1dc4950bfa lang/funcs: Rename the base64 character encoding functions
These were initially introduced as functions with "encode" and "decode"
prefixes, but that doesn't match with our existing convention of putting
the encoding format first so that the encode and decode functions will
group together in a alphabetically-ordered function list.

"text" is not really a defined serialization format, but it's a short word
that hopefully represents well enough what these functions are aiming to
encode and decode, while being consistent with existing functions like
jsonencode/jsondecode, yamlencode/yamldecode, etc.

The "base64" at the end here is less convincing because there is precedent
for that modifier to appear both at the beginning and the end in our
existing function names. I chose to put it at the end here because that
seems to be our emergent convention for situations where the base64
encoding is a sort of secondary modifier alongside the primary purpose
of the function, as we see with "filebase64". (base64gzip is an exception
here, but it seems outvoted by the others.)

Martin Atkins 30204ecded command/cliconfig: Allow development overrides for providers
For normal provider installation we want to associate each provider with
a selected version number and find a suitable package for that version
that conforms to the official hashes for that release.

Those requirements are very onerous for a provider developer currently
testing a not-yet-released build, though. To allow for that case this new
CLI configuration feature allows overriding specific providers to refer
to give local filesystem directories.

Any provider overridden in this way is not subject to the usual
restrictions about selected versions or checksum conformance, and
activating an override won't cause any changes to the selections recorded
in the lock file because it's intended to be a temporary setting for one
developer only.

This is, in a sense, a spiritual successor of an old capability we had to
override specific plugins in the CLI configuration file. There were
some vestiges of that left in the main package and CLI config package
but nothing has actually been honoring them for several versions now and
so this commit removes them to avoid confusion with the new mechanism.

Martin Atkins e70ab09bf1 command: new cache directory .terraform/providers for providers
Terraform v0.10 introduced .terraform/plugins as a cache directory for
automatically-installed plugins, Terraform v0.13 later reorganized the
directory structure inside but retained its purpose as a cache.

The local cache used to also serve as a record of specifically which
packages were selected in a particular working directory, with the intent
that a second run of "terraform init" would always select the same
packages again. That meant that in some sense it behaved a bit like a
local filesystem mirror directory, even though that wasn't its intended
purpose.

Due to some unfortunate miscommunications, somewhere a long the line we
published some documentation that _recommended_ using the cache directory
as if it were a filesystem mirror directory when working with Terraform
Cloud. That was really only working as an accident of implementation
details, and Terraform v0.14 is now going to break that because the source
of record for the currently-selected provider versions is now the
public-facing dependency lock file rather than the contents of an existing
local cache directory on disk.

After some consideration of how to move forward here, this commit
implements a compromise that tries to avoid silently doing anything
surprising while still giving useful guidance to folks who were previously
using the unsupported strategy. Specifically:

- The local cache directory will now be .terraform/providers rather than
  .terraform/plugins, because .terraform/plugins is effectively "poisoned"
  by the incorrect usage that we can't reliably distinguish from prior
  version correct usage.

- The .terraform/plugins directory is now the "legacy cache directory". It
  is intentionally _not_ now a filesystem mirror directory, because that
  would risk incorrectly interpreting providers automatically installed
  by Terraform v0.13 as if they were a local mirror, and thus upgrades
  and checksum fetches from the origin registry would be blocked.

- Because of the previous two points, someone who _was_ trying to use the
  legacy cache directory as a filesystem mirror would see installation
  fail for any providers they manually added to the legacy directory.

  To avoid leaving that user stumped as to what went wrong, there's a
  heuristic for the case where a non-official provider fails installation
  and yet we can see it in the legacy cache directory. If that heuristic
  matches then we'll produce a warning message hinting to move the
  provider under the terraform.d/plugins directory, which is a _correct_
  location for "bundled" provider plugins that belong only to a single
  configuration (as opposed to being installed globally on a system).

This does unfortunately mean that anyone who was following the
incorrectly-documented pattern will now encounter an error (and the
aforementioned warning hint) after upgrading to Terraform v0.14. This
seems like the safest compromise because Terraform can't automatically
infer the intent of files it finds in .terraform/plugins in order to
decide automatically how best to handle them.

The internals of the .terraform directory are always considered
implementation detail for a particular Terraform version and so switching
to a new directory for the _actual_ cache directory fits within our usual
set of guarantees, though it's definitely non-ideal in isolation but okay
when taken in the broader context of this problem, where the alternative
would be silent misbehavior when upgrading.

Martin Atkins e1aff2bab0 website: First draft of v0.14 upgrade guide
The upgrade requirements for this release are considerably more modest
than for Terraform v0.13, so this time we just have some notes about a
few changes in behavior that may be impactful to some users.

This first pass is intended to be included as part of a forthcoming beta
testers' guide as we begin the v0.14 beta testing period. We will make
further changes to this upgrade guide based on feedback from those who
participate in the beta process.

Note that this upgrade guide is not intended as release marketing material
and so its presentation is focused on addressing concerns users might
encounter while upgrading. We'll share highlights from the release in
other contexts, such as the changelog and in the product blog.

Martin Atkins 0bbbb9c64b configs: Experimental support for optional object type attributes
This builds on an experimental feature in the underlying cty library which
allows marking specific attribtues of an object type constraint as
optional, which in turn modifies how the cty conversion package handles
missing attributes in a source value: it will silently substitute a null
value of the appropriate type rather than returning an error.

In order to implement the experiment this commit temporarily forks the
HCL typeexpr extension package into a local internal/typeexpr package,
where I've extended the type constraint syntax to allow annotating object
type attributes as being optional using the HCL function call syntax.
If the experiment is successful -- both at the Terraform layer and in
the underlying cty library -- we'll likely send these modifications to
upstream HCL so that other HCL-based languages can potentially benefit
from this new capability.

Because it's experimental, the optional attribute modifier is allowed only
with an explicit opt-in to the module_variable_optional_attrs experiment.
