* website: Update or remove references to legacy provider docs
We've finally evicted the last of the legacy provider docs from terraform.io!
Let's celebrate by purging all memory of them.
The 0.11 docs are now so thoroughly legacy that I don't believe they need a new
destination for their provider links, so I just removed those.
* website: remove old provider docs index
This will require a redirect in the terraform-website repo.
* Apply suggestions from code review

# shouldn't it be true if the error count is zero
error_count (number): A zero or positive whole number giving the count of errors Terraform detected. If valid is 'true' then error_count will always be zero, because it is the presence of errors that indicates that a configuration is invalid.
The -var command line option comes with the disadvantage that a user must
contend both with Terraform's own parser and with the parser in whichever
shell they've decided to use, and different shells on different platforms
have different rules.
Previously we've largely just assumed that folks know the appropriate
syntax for the shell they chose, but it seems that command lines involving
spaces and other special characters arise rarely enough in other commands
that Terraform is often the first time someone needs to learn the
appropriate syntax for their shell.
We can't possibly capture all of the details of all shells in our docs,
because that's far outside of our own scope, but hopefully this new
section will go some way to give some real examples that will help folks
figure out how to write suitable escape sequences, if they choose to
set complex variable values on the command line rather than in .tfvars
as we recommend elsewhere on this page.
* command: new command, terraform add, generates resource templates
terraform add ADDRESS generates a resource configuration template with all required (and optionally optional) attributes set to null. This can optionally also pre-populate nonsesitive attributes with values from an existing resource of the same type in state (sensitive vals will be populated with null and a comment indicating sensitivity)
* website: terraform add documentation
* clarify input variables opening sentence
* adjust variables description
* claraify providers text and add learn callout
* add description to providers page
* add desscription and clarify provider configuration
* add deprecation note to versions in proivder configs
* add hands on callout and clarify next steps in intro
* link to language collection from language docs
* give more context about configurtion language up front
* clarify output top page
* reorganize for each intro to present feature before notes
* move description before link out and remove passive voice
* fix typo
* clarify purpose of plan
* move explanation before learn link and fully spell boolean
* add a syntax heading to separate intro from details
* add learn callout to module source docs
* clean up intro to provider requirements and add link
* Apply suggestions from code review

We got the replacement for this in earlier than anticipated, so these docs
were originally more pessimistic about when the alternative would be
available.
While we were working on and documenting these it wasn't clear exactly
what Terraform CLI version they would land in, and so we used
"Terraform v1.0" in the docs as a safe bound that was definitely going to
include all of them.
With everything now landed though, we can be more specific about which
v0.15.x minor release each of these appeared in.
Terraform 0.15.3 added support for a `-json` flag to the plan, apply,
and refresh commands, which renders the Terraform UI output in a
structured machine readable format. This commit adds documentation for
this interface.
The current documention was unclear about the full path of local mirrors
when using the XDG Base Directory Specification.
Also removed the trailing slashes for the other paths in this section.
