hcl2_upgrade transforms a JSON build-file in a HCL2 build-file.
This starts a validated Packer core and from that core we generate an HCL 'block' per plugin/configuration. So for a builder, a provisioner, a post-processor or a variable. The contents of each block is just transformed as is and basically all fields are HCL2-ified.
A generated field can be valid in JSON but invalid on HCL2; for example JSON templating (in mapstructure) allows to set arrays of strings - like `x = ["a", "b"]` - with single strings - like `x="a"` -, HCL does not allow this.
Since JSON does not make the distinction between variables and locals, everything will be a variable. So variables that use other variables will not work.
hcl2_upgrade tries to transform go templating interpolation calls to HCL2 calls when possible, leaving the go templating calls like they are in case it cannot.
Work:
* transpiler
* tests
* update hcl v2 library so that output looks great.
* update docs
* Drop the iso_checksum_type & iso_checksum_url fields
In favor of simply using iso_checksum that will know what to do.
* fix after master merge
* Update builder_test.go
* Update builder_test.go
* Update builder_test.go
* Update builder_test.go
* Update builder_test.go
* remove checksum lowercasing tests
* Update builder_test.go
* Update builder_test.go
* better docs
* Update builder_test.go
* even better docs
* Update config.go
* Update builder_test.go
* Update step_create_vmx_test.go
* make generate
* better docs
* fix imports
* up tests
* Update _ISOConfig-required.html.md
* Update builder_test.go
* don't use sha1.Sum("none") as a caching path
* Update builder_test.go
* better docs
* Update iso_config_test.go
remove ISOChecksumType/ISOChecksumURL references
* Update step_download_test.go
* add iso_checksum_url and iso_checksum_type fixers + tests
* add concrete examples of checksum values
* add examples of checksumming from local file
* update go-getter dep
* up deps
* use new go-getter version
* up ESX5Driver.VerifyChecksum: use go-getter's checksumming
* ISOConfig.Prepare: get checksum there in case we need it as a string in ESX5Driver.VerifyChecksum
* Update iso_config.go
* get go-getter from v2 branch
* Update driver_esx5.go
add more comments
* Update driver_esx5.go
* show better error message when the checksum is invalid
* Update builder_test.go
put in a valid checksum to fix tests, checksum is md5("packer")
* Update builder_test.go
test invalid and valid checksum
* more test updating
* fix default md5 string to be a valid md5

* fix/fixer_pp_docker_tag_tags.go: simplify deduplication loop and keep seen/stable order
This follows #8232 which added the code to generate the code required to parse
HCL files for each packer component.
All old config files of packer will keep on working the same. Packer takes one
argument. When a directory is passed, all files in the folder with a name
ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” will be parsed using the HCL2 format.
When a file ending with “.pkr.hcl” or “.pkr.json” is passed it will be parsed
using the HCL2 format. For every other case; the old packer style will be used.
## 1. the hcl2template pkg can create a packer.Build from a set of HCL (v2) files
I had to make the packer.coreBuild (which is our one and only packer.Build ) a public struct with public fields
## 2. Components interfaces get a new ConfigSpec Method to read a file from an HCL file.
This is a breaking change for packer plugins.
a packer component can be a: builder/provisioner/post-processor
each component interface now gets a `ConfigSpec() hcldec.ObjectSpec`
which allows packer to tell what is the layout of the hcl2 config meant
to configure that specific component.
This ObjectSpec is sent through the wire (RPC) and a cty.Value is now
sent through the already existing configuration entrypoints:
Provisioner.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) error
Builder.Prepare(raws ...interface{}) ([]string, error)
PostProcessor.Configure(raws ...interface{}) error

Example hcl files:
```hcl
// file amazon-ebs-kms-key/run.pkr.hcl
build {
sources = [
"source.amazon-ebs.first",
]
provisioner "shell" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
post-processor "shell-local" {
inline = [
"sleep 5"
]
}
}
// amazon-ebs-kms-key/source.pkr.hcl
source "amazon-ebs" "first" {
ami_name = "hcl2-test"
region = "us-east-1"
instance_type = "t2.micro"
kms_key_id = "c729958f-c6ba-44cd-ab39-35ab68ce0a6c"
encrypt_boot = true
source_ami_filter {
filters {
virtualization-type = "hvm"
name = "amzn-ami-hvm-????.??.?.????????-x86_64-gp2"
root-device-type = "ebs"
}
most_recent = true
owners = ["amazon"]
}
launch_block_device_mappings {
