Martin Atkins bd1a215580 helper/resource: Ignore Removed attributes for ImportStateVerify
Due to the lossiness of our legacy models for diff and state, shimming a
diff and then creating a state from it produces a different result than
shimming a state directly. That means that ImportStateVerify no longer
works as expected if there are any Computed attributes in the schema where
d.Set isn't called during Read.

Fixing that for every case would require some risky changes to the shim
behavior, so we're instead going to ask provider developers to address it
by adding `d.Set` calls where needed, since that is the contract for
"Computed" anyway -- a default value should be produced during Create, and
thus by extension during Import.

However, since a common situation where this occurs is attributes marked
as "Removed", since all of the code that deals with them has generally
been deleted, we'll avoid problems in that case here by treating Removed
attributes as ignored for the purposes of ImportStateVerify.

This required exporting some functionality that was formerly unexported
in helper/schema, but it's a relatively harmless schema introspection
function so shouldn't be a big deal to export it.

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.
