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"
}
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
to allow just reading the config and to not start anything. This will allow to later on run `validate --syntax-only`.
Note that none of the builder/provisioner/post-processor config will be read but simply ignored. HCL2 still needs the body to be properly formatted and it should detect most syntax errors.
