The "tofu show" command has historically been difficult to extend to meet
new use-cases, such as showing the current configuration without creating
a plan, because it was designed to take zero or one arguments and then try
to guess what the one specified argument was intended to mean.
This commit introduces a new style where the type of object to inspect is
specified using command line option syntax, using one of two
mutually-exclusive options:
-state Show the latest state snapshot.
-plan=FILE Show the plan from the given saved plan file.
We expect that a future commit will extend this with a new "-config" option
to inspect the configuration rooted in the current working directory, and
possibly with "-module=DIR" to shallowly inspect a single module without
necessarily having to fully initialize it with all of its dependencies
first. However, both of those use-cases (and any others) are not in scope
for this commit, which is focused only on refactoring to make those future
use-cases possible.
The old mode of specifying neither option and providing zero or one
positional arguments is still supported for backward compatibility.
Notably, the legacy style is the only way to access the legacy behavior of
inspecting a specific state snapshot file from the local filesystem, which
has not often been used since Terraform v0.9 as we've moved away
from manual management of state files to the structure of state backends.
Those who _do_ still need that old behavior can still access it in the
old way, but there will be no new-style equivalent of it unless we learn
of a compelling use case for it.
