* removed packer.Cache and references since packer.Cache is never used except in the download step. The download step now uses the new func packer.CachePath(targetPath) for this, the behavior is the same.
* removed download code from packer that was reimplemented into the go-getter library: progress bar, http download restart, checksuming from file, skip already downloaded files, symlinking, make a download cancellable by context.
* on windows if packer is running without symlinking rights and we are getting a local file, the file will be copied instead to avoid errors.
* added unit tests for step_download that are now CI tested on windows, mac & linux.
* files are now downloaded under cache dir `sha1(filename + "?checksum=" + checksum) + file_extension`
* since the output dir is based on the source url and the checksum, when the checksum fails, the file is auto deleted.
* a download file is protected and locked by a file lock,
* updated docs
* updated go modules and vendors
* Add new functions to communicator helper to return the user, password, host, based on the communicator used.
This implementation can help then generalize the provisioeners later on.
* Update null builder checks to utilize the new functions and check for ANY hostname or user or password
* Update builder to user any hostname
The null builder is not really a bulider, it just setups a SSH
connection and runs the provisioners. It can be used to debug
provisioners without incurring high wait times. It does not create any
kind of image or artifact.
