// ActionForChange determines which plans.Action value best describes a
// change from the value given in before to the value given in after.
//
// Because it has no context aside from the values, it can only return the
// basic actions NoOp, Create, Update, and Delete. Other codepaths with
// additional information might make this decision differently, such as by
// using the Replace action instead of the Update action where that makes
// sense.
//
// If the after value is unknown then the action can't be properly decided, and
// so ActionForChange will conservatively return either Create or Update
// depending on whether the before value is null. The before value must always
// be fully known; ActionForChange will panic if it contains any unknown values.
