* HCL2 variables: split validation from getting value, to only
This way we do this only once and log this only once. The errors were being ignored anyways.
* Update types.variables_test.go
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
* Allow locals to be delcared as individual blocks, and give them the Sensitive flag
* add docs for new local block
* linting
* add tests
* modified parsing to use schema, check for dupes properly
* update comment
fix wording a liiitle
* add tests for duplicate variables definition in two different files
* remove unnecessary slice initialisation
* fix crash by returning when decode error is hit
* parseLocalVariables: only treat a local vars if its not nil
also return in case of error
return locals in case of error too
* fix duplicate_locals test for windows

* add the possibility to set the packer.required_version field; to make sure the template file works with that version of Packer
* add tests
* add documentation on packer.required_version
Example:
packer {
required_version = ">= 1.2.0, < 2.0.0"
}
added `post-processors` block to run chained post-processors after a build.
Before this, defining multiple `post-processor` blocks after
provisioning steps would run them sequentially, now doing this makes them start
from the build's artifact. To queue post-processors you now have to define them
in a `post-processors` block.
This is a breaking change.
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
It would have been a bit nicer if all builder were more specific in order for hcl to tell wether a value will be set during the first prepare time but that also totally works !
* 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.

* refactor so that json and hcl2 templates are both prepared in the same place in the build call, to make code easier to reason about. Remove overly verbose error output which isn't useful in vast majority of cases
* fix tests
* check err msg
* hcl2template.PackerConfig.GetBuilds: raise a diagnostic in case the packer core build perpare call errors
