Nick Fagerlund fa9ad0c5e5 website: Adopt islanded subcommands into unified "docs" (CLI) layout
Several `terraform` subcommands include sub-sub-commands; with our old sidebar
system, viewing those took you to an isolated "island" nav sidebar, away from
the main docs. The new navigation will adopt all these pages, so we don't need
to exile the reader to odd places.

# Resource Addressing
The `terraform state` subcommands use
[standard address syntax](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html) to refer
to individual resources, resource instances, and modules. This is the same
syntax used for the `-target` option to the `apply` and `plan` commands.
Most state commands allow referring to individual resource instances, whole
resources (which may have multiple instances if `count` or `for_each` is used),
or even whole modules.
For more information on the syntax, see [Resource Addressing](/docs/internals/resource-addressing.html).
