The helper/schema framework for building providers previously validated
in all cases that each field being set in state was in the schema.
However, in order to support remote state in a usable fashion, the need
has arisen for the top level attributes of the resource to be created
dynamically. In order to still be able to use helper/schema, this commit
adds the capability to assign additional fields.
Though I do not forsee this being used by providers other than remote
state (and that eventually may move into Terraform Core rather than
being a provider), the usage and semantics are:
To opt into dynamic attributes, add a schema attribute named
"__has_dynamic_attributes", and make it an optional string with no
default value, in order that it does not appear in diffs:
"__has_dynamic_attributes": {
Type: schema.TypeString
Optional: true
}
In the read callback, use the d.UnsafeSetFieldRaw(key, value) function
to set the dynamic attributes.
Note that other fields in the schema _are_ copied into state, and that
the names of the schema fields cannot currently be used as dynamic
attribute names, as we check to ensure a value is not already set for a
given key.

Helper Libraries
This folder contains helper libraries for Terraform plugins. A running joke is that this is "Terraform standard library" for plugins. The goal of the packages in this directory are to provide high-level helpers to make it easier to implement the various aspects of writing a plugin for Terraform.
