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
* add kex algorithm option to ssh config
* regenerate code
* This commit fixes old vmware acceptance tests that have not been run in some time. It does this in two parts:
1) It modifies the minimal vmware build configuration to use a custom kex algorithm, which enables the ssh connection to succeed.
2) It modifies logic in reading and defaulting hardware config values, which was crashing.
3) It adds a new acceptance test with a preseed file to test loading from an http directory.
* 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

This function can be used to check if a Provisioner has been marked for testing within the ACC_TEST_PROVISIONERS environment variable.
While testing I found that the shell acceptance test were also running when trying to run powershell tests.
Before change
```
