A diagnostic message can potentially include substrings derived from data
fetched from untrusted sources, such as if a network request fails in a
way that causes part of the response data to be included verbatim in the
error message.
This new filtering ensures that if any such data is included then any
C0 control characters in the string cannot affect the state of a terminal
that stdout/stderr might be connected to, by replacing them with their
corresponding printable representations from Unicode's "Control Pictures"
block.
The filtering of source snippets and source filenames is not technically
necessary because those are under control of module authors only and
operators are already expected to review modules they use to ensure that
they can cause only desirable behavior, since modules are arbitrary code.
However, it's included here for defense-in-depth because there is little
reason for such characters to appear legitimately in either of those
contexts in practice.

By observing the sorts of questions people ask in the community, and the
ways they ask them, we've inferred that various different people have been
confused by Terraform reporting that a value won't be known until apply
or that a value is sensitive as part of an error message when that message
doesn't actually relate to the known-ness and sensitivity of any value.
Quite reasonably, someone who sees Terraform discussing an unfamiliar
concept like unknown values can assume that it must be somehow relevant to
the problem being discussed, and so in that sense Terraform's current
error messages are giving "too much information": information that isn't
actually helpful in understanding the problem being described, and in the
worst case is a distraction from understanding the problem being described.
With that in mind then, here we introduce an explicit annotation on
diagnostic objects that are directly talking about unknown values or
sensitive values, and then the diagnostic renderer will react to that to
avoid using the terminology "known only after apply" or "sensitive" in the
generated diagnostic annotations unless we're rendering a message that is
explicitly related to one of those topics.
This ends up being a bit of a cross-cutting concern because the code that
generates these diagnostics and the code that renders them are in separate
packages and are not directly aware of each other. With that in mind, the
logic for actually deciding for a particular diagnostic whether it's
flagged in one of these special ways lives inside the tfdiags package as
an intermediation point, which both the diagnostic generator (in the core
package) and the diagnostic renderer can both depend on.
When an error occurs in a function call, the error message text often
includes references to particular parameters in the function signature.
This commit improves that reporting by also including a summary of the
full function signature as part of the diagnostic context in that case,
so a reader can see which parameter is which given that function
arguments are always assigned positionally and so the parameter names
do not appear in the caller's source code.
This is part of a general effort to move all of Terraform's non-library
package surface under internal in order to reinforce that these are for
internal use within Terraform only.
If you were previously importing packages under this prefix into an
external codebase, you could pin to an earlier release tag as an interim
solution until you've make a plan to achieve the same functionality some
other way.
