Martin Atkins	4061cbed38	internal/getproviders: A new shared model for provider requirements ... We've been using the models from the "moduledeps" package to represent our provider dependencies everywhere since the idea of provider dependencies was introduced in Terraform 0.10, but that model is not convenient to use for any use-case other than the "terraform providers" command that needs individual-module-level detail. To make things easier for new codepaths working with the new-style provider installer, here we introduce a new model type getproviders.Requirements which is based on the type the new installer was already taking as its input. We have new methods in the states, configs, and earlyconfig packages to produce values of this type, and a helper to merge Requirements together so we can combine config-derived and state-derived requirements together during installation. The advantage of this new model over the moduledeps one is that all of recursive module walking is done up front and we produce a simple, flat structure that is more convenient for the main use-cases of selecting providers for installation and then finding providers in the local cache to use them for other operations. This new model is _not_ suitable for implementing "terraform providers" because it does not retain module-specific requirement details. Therefore we will likely keep using moduledeps for "terraform providers" for now, and then possibly at a later time consider specializing the moduledeps logic for only what "terraform providers" needs, because it seems to be the only use-case that needs to retain that level of detail.	6 years ago
