* 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
Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) is the Windows counterpart to HVF and
KVM. It's an operating system provided component that provides
virtualization acceleration support.
This is kind of the missing counterpart to https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/pull/6193.
QEMU 2.12 also added support for WHPX.
There's no support for libvirt on Windows so nothing was added in those
areas.
The popular QEMU for Windows distribution does not have WHPX support
built-in for legal reasons as the maintainer does not wish to use or
obtain any part of Microsoft's SDK to compile the distribution.
When using the raw image format and attempting to resize it we get the following error message:
```
WARNING: Image format was not specified for 'test.raw' and probing guessed raw.
Automatically detecting the format is dangerous for raw images, write operations on block 0 will be restricted.
Specify the 'raw' format explicitly to remove the restrictions.
```
Specifying the format will remove this warning.
Run now takes a context as well as a statebag. We'll assign the context
to the blank identifier to prevent namespace collisions. We'll let the
step authors opt-in to using the context.
`find . -iname "step_*.go" -exec gsed -i'' 's/func \(.*\)Run(/func \1Run(_ context.Context, /' {} \;`
When booting from a disk image, the Qemu builder resizes the disk to 40000
which is not a multiple of 1kB. This causes problems while booting from the image.
Updating the default disk size to 40960 fixes this issue
[A recent breaking change upstream in Golang's crypto
library](e4e2799dd7)
has broken SSH connectivity for a few builders:

```
Specifying HostKeyCallback as insecure should make things work again
and would make sense for packer's use case.
If using a builder that has an http server set up for file transfer,
expose the connection info to the shell provisioner through the environment
variable PACKER_HTTP_ADDR.
