Martin Atkins c6e32f148d website: v0.12 upgrade guide revisions preparing for final release
Our original upgrade guide was drafted while some things were still in
flux and not all of our upgrade tooling was in place yet.

This redraft now attempts to be more specific and direct, showing exact
commands to run and (where relevant) exact error messages that Terraform
might return.

I also took this opportunity for some general copy-editing, though we'll
probably want to do one more pass of that alone (without changing any
content at the same time) before final release.

This new content presumes the existence of a Terraform v0.11.14 release,
which isn't published yet at the time of writing but should be published
before v0.12.0 final, once we've done final verification and review of
the upgrade path including it.

Martin Atkins c94f8f9067 website: Document division behavior change in v0.12 upgrade guide
The division operator now always performs floating point division, whereas
before it would choose between float and int division based on the types
of its arguments.

We have a specific error message for when a fractional number is used as
an index in HCL, but this additional upgrade guidance provides a specific
solution to the problem: the floor function.

Sadly we don't have enough context in the current design of the upgrade
tool to make this fix automatic. With some refactoring it may be possible
to apply the fix automatically within list brackets, but since that is
a relatively complex change we'll first try this manual solution prompted
by an error message, because in practice so far we've seen this reported
only in the context of list indexing and our error check will catch that
and make the user aware of the need for a fix there.

Nick Fagerlund 34e90ff3c1 website: Fix broken links to modules/usage and modules/create
As part of this, I'm copying the entire text of the 0.12
docs/configuration/modules.html page into docs/configuration-0-11/modules.html —
some of the 0.11 pages needed to be able to link to the moved content, I
didn't want to jump versions jarringly, and a close reading didn't reveal
anything in there that's inaccurate for 0.11.

Martin Atkins 08f0f60908 website: Temporary link to the beta1 announcement from v0.12 guide
The announcement post contains the information about the temporary
situation where not all of the providers are compatible yet. Linking there
rather than duplicating the information in the upgrade guide means we'll
be able to update in one place as the situation changes.

Martin Atkins da4862e3f7 website: Revamped upgrade guide for v0.12.0-beta1
The upgrade guide had its last major upgrade while we were preparing for
the alpha releases. Now that the upgrade tool is more complete we can
describe the required changes in terms of that tool, and also add
additional information about provider upgrades.

We will revise this at least one more time before v0.12.0 final, but this
is an interim copy of the upgrade guide intended to help those who are
testing the beta releases.

Martin Atkins 9441e78fb9 website: v0.12 preview upgrade guide tweaks
Based on some feedback on the initial draft, make some minor updates to
how information is presented in the preview upgrade guide for v0.12.

This also includes some minor copy-editing work to try to make the "voice"
more consistent between different sections of the guide.

Thomas Kula e2373c8073 website: Using demo.consul.io requires scheme = "https"
Following the examples as they were previously would cause errors
accessing demo.consul.io. Now we consistently set the scheme to https for
all examples that use demo.consul.io.

This also includes some other updates to the URLs, since the Consul demo
has been rebuilt with a different based configuration, and some general
formatting and copyediting changes in the Consul example.

Martin Atkins 57db3cfe51 website: 0.11 upgrade guidance on resources with count = 0
This is a genre of invalid output expression that we've seen quite
commonly while testing with 0.11.0-rc1, so we'll call it out specifically
in the upgrade guide and suggest how to fix it.

We don't generally use comma separators for map elements in HCL, because
the newline implies it.

Martin Atkins 11790442a1 website: Describe provider config hoisting in 0.11 upgrade guide
We are recommending that as of 0.11 all provider configurations be placed
in the root module and, where necessary, be explicitly passed down via
a providers map to customize which configurations are seen by each
child module.

This new section attempts to guide users through such refactoring in the
common case where a child module defines its own provider configuration
based on a value passed in an input variable, and then uses that as
some context to link to the more detailed docs to help those who have
more complex configurations.

Martin Atkins 0543574383 website: update upgrade-guide for plugin filename convention
This changed close to the release of beta1 to use underscores as the
separator and to use a lower-case "v" to avoid any issues on
case-insensitive filesystems.

As a side effect, several commands that previously did not have a failure
state can now fail during meta-parameter processing.
