James Bardin f0a64eb456 configs: explicitly nullable variable values
The current behavior of module input variables is to allow users to
override a default by assigning `null`, which works contrary to the
behavior of resource attributes, and prevents explicitly accepting a
default when the input must be defined in the configuration.

Add a new variable attribute called `nullable` will allow explicitly
defining when a variable can be set to null or not. The current default
behavior is that of `nullable=true`.

Setting `nullable=false` in a variable block indicates that the variable
value can never be null. This either requires a non-null input value, or
a non-null default value. In the case of the latter, we also opt-in to
the new behavior of a `null` input value taking the default rather than
overriding it.

In a future language edition where we make `nullable=false` the default,
setting `nullable=true` will allow the legacy behavior of `null`
overriding a default value. The only future configuration in which this
would be required even if the legacy behavior were not desired is when
setting an optional+nullable value. In that case `default=null` would
also be needed and we could therefor imply `nullable=true` without
requiring it in the configuration.
