This adds the new `required_plugins` block to be nested under the packer block.
Example:
```hcl
packer {
required_plugins {
aws = {
version = ">= 2.7.0"
source = "azr/aws"
}
azure = ">= 2.7.0"
}
}
```
For example on darwin_amd64 Packer will install those under :
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/azr/amazon/packer-plugin-amazon_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64"
* "${PACKER_HOME_DIR}/plugin/github.com/hashicorp/azure/packer-plugin-azure_2.7.0_x5.0_darwin_amd64_x5"
+ docs
+ tests
The initialization of packer core in JSON also validates that `null` variables were set, except in the case of `packer validate --syntax-only` , but after the refactor to allow to have all commands work with HCL2 and JSON this subtlety was lost.
This refactors the initialisation of the core in order to allow to have `packer validate --syntax-only` not error in case a variable is not set. Since these calls are refactored this works for HCL2 too.
fix#9478
* Update validate command to use FixConfig for checking against known
fixers
* Update validation command flag docs
* Add ConfigFixer method to PackerHandler Interface
* Implement ConfigFixer interface in PackerConfig
* Remove all stdout messaging (i.e calls to c.Ui.Say) in the validate
command. The command will only display hcl.Diagnotic messaging when there is an error or warning.
