Martin Atkins 0e0e3d73af core: New ResourceProvider methods for data resources
This is a breaking change to the ResourceProvider interface that adds the
new operations relating to data sources.

DataSources, ValidateDataSource, ReadDataDiff and ReadDataApply are the
data source equivalents of Resources, Validate, Diff and Apply (respectively)
for managed resources.

The diff/apply model seems at first glance a rather strange workflow for
read-only resources, but implementing data resources in this way allows them
to fit cleanly into the standard plan/apply lifecycle in cases where the
configuration contains computed arguments and thus the read must be deferred
until apply time.

Along with breaking the interface, we also fix up the plugin client/server
and helper/schema implementations of it, which are all of the callers
used when provider plugins use helper/schema. This would be a breaking
change for any provider plugin that directly implements the provider
interface, but no known plugins do this and it is not recommended.

At the helper/schema layer the implementer sees ReadDataApply as a "Read",
as opposed to "Create" or "Update" as in the managed resource Apply
implementation. The planning mechanics are handled entirely within
helper/schema, so that complexity is hidden from the provider implementation
itself.
