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.

Martin Atkins 897cb72b36 website: Initial docs for the new dependency lock file behaviors
This includes both the main documentation about the lock file itself and
changes to related documentation about Terraform commands that interact
with the lock file.

We will likely continue to update this first pass of documentation as we
get feedback and questions during the prerelease period.

We can remove the caveat about changing map elements.

Add a little more text about the intended use case for ignore_changes,
as the common case of fixing erroneous provider behavior should not be
the primary motivation for the maintenance of this feature.

lang/funcs: Add "alltrue" function (#25656)
This commit adds an `alltrue` function to Terraform configuration. A
reason we might want this function is because it will enable more
powerful custom variable validations. For example:

```hcl
variable "amis" {
  type = list(object({
    id = string
  }))

  validation {
    condition = (alltrue([
      for a in var.amis : length(a.id) > 4 && substr(a.id, 0, 4) == "ami-"
    ]))
    error_message = "The ID of at least one AMI was invalid."
  }
}
```

Alisdair McDiarmid aa8c73cd18 website: Credentials helper response for no creds
For a credentials helper plugin to be useful with Terraform 0.13+, we
need to cope with the case of having no credentials for a host without
this being an error. This is to allow the public Terraform Registry to
be accessed without supplying a token.

The way to implement this is to respond to queries for credentials for a
host which has no credentials stored with an empty object and a success
exit code. This contradicts the previous documentation, which calls for
an error response in this case.

In addition to the directories previously listed, Terraform looks in the
CLI config directory ($HOME/.terraform.d/plugins on macOS/Linux/UNIX,
and %APPDATA%/terraform.d/plugins on Windows). List this in the
documentation for clarity.

We also add a note about the working directory relative "vendor"
location, ./terraform.d/plugins.

configs: deprecate version argument inside provider configuration blocks (#26135)
The version argument is deprecated in Terraform v0.14 in favor of
required_providers and will be removed in a future version of terraform
(expected to be v0.15). The provider configuration documentation already
discourages use of 'version' inside provider configuration blocks, so it
only needed an extra note that it is actively deprecated.

Martin Atkins efe78b2910 main: new global option -chdir
This new option is intended to address the previous inconsistencies where
some older subcommands supported partially changing the target directory
(where Terraform would use the new directory inconsistently) where newer
commands did not support that override at all.

Instead, now Terraform will accept a -chdir command at the start of the
command line (before the subcommand) and will interpret it as a request
to direct all actions that would normally be taken in the current working
directory into the target directory instead. This is similar to options
offered by some other similar tools, such as the -C option in "make".

The new option is only accepted at the start of the command line (before
the subcommand) as a way to reflect that it is a global command (not
specific to a particular subcommand) and that it takes effect _before_
executing the subcommand. This also means it'll be forced to appear before
any other command-specific arguments that take file paths, which hopefully
communicates that those other arguments are interpreted relative to the
overridden path.

As a measure of pragmatism for existing uses, the path.cwd object in
the Terraform language will continue to return the _original_ working
directory (ignoring -chdir), in case that is important in some exceptional
workflows. The path.root object gives the root module directory, which
will always match the overriden working directory unless the user
simultaneously uses one of the legacy directory override arguments, which
is not a pattern we intend to support in the long run.

As a first step down the deprecation path, this commit adjusts the
documentation to de-emphasize the inconsistent old command line arguments,
including specific guidance on what to use instead for the main three
workflow commands, but all of those options remain supported in the same
way as they were before. In a later commit we'll make those arguments
produce a visible deprecation warning in Terraform's output, and then
in an even later commit we'll remove them entirely so that -chdir is the
single supported way to run Terraform from a directory other than the
one containing the root module configuration.
