* hcl2template: pass user variable values to plugins as packer_user_variables (#13686)

HCL2 builds do not send the packer_user_variables config key to the
builder, provisioner and post-processor plugins. Legacy JSON builds
send this key (through CoreBuild.packerConfig()). Without the key, the
plugin SDK keeps interpolate.Context.UserVariables nil. Then the
template function {{ user "name" }} fails with 'error calling user:
test'. This failure occurs in each string that a plugin interpolates at
run time, for example the contents of the vagrant post-processor's
vagrantfile_template.

Add the function PackerConfig.userVariableValues(). This function
converts the input variable values to strings, equivalent to the legacy
user variables. The core sends the map at each plugin handoff point:
builder, provisioner, post-processor, and enforced provisioner.

The map does not contain the sensitive variables. A sensitive value
goes to a plugin only if the template refers to it explicitly. The map
does not contain values that are not primitive (lists, maps, objects).
Legacy user variables were always strings.

* plugin-getter: install plugins from non-GitHub HTTP sources (#13691)

Packer can only install plugins from github.com, with
releases.hashicorp.com consulted first for HashiCorp-published plugins.
This has been a long-standing gap for air-gapped and policy-restricted
environments (#11164): the source address parser already accepts any
hostname, but both existing getters reject non-github.com sources at
install time.

Add a remote plugin getter that installs plugins from the host named in
a required_plugins source address. The host serves the directory
structure of releases.hashicorp.com under the source's path: an
index.json listing versions, and per version a SHA256SUMS file, the
zips it lists, and - when the zip names carry no plugin protocol
version - the version's manifest.json. A plugin published on
releases.hashicorp.com is therefore mirrored as a verbatim copy of its
tree, with every checksum file and signature upstream-authored. A
plugin published as GitHub release assets is mirrored by copying each
release's assets into a version directory, renaming their SHA256SUMS
file to the unprefixed convention with content unchanged, and writing
an index.json listing the versions. Both kinds of content can be
served side by side by one host.

Getter selection happens per source address: github.com sources keep
the release and github getters unchanged, while any other host is
served by the remote getter over HTTPS. Sources with three or more
components are supported, up to the existing 16-component limit, so
nested artifact-repository paths and hosts that embed the upstream
origin in their path all resolve.

Version discovery, constraint solving, checksum verification, and the
binary naming rules match the existing getters. The installed filename
is rebuilt from validated checksum-file fields and never taken from the
server's response, checksum entries matching neither known naming shape
are rejected rather than guessed at, and nothing the remote metadata
supplies is used to fetch from another origin or path. index.json
parsing is covered by fixtures captured from the live releases API, so
a format change there fails tests rather than user installs.

Lucas Bajolet 6fc1d154bd packer: relax constraints on sources
The source parsing logic was heavily directed towards Github compatible
source URIs, however if we want to support more cases, we need to make
sure we are able to specify those URIs, and to load plugins installed
from those sources.

Right now, since the getters available are only github.com, we will not
support remotely instlling plugins from sources other than github.com,
with the same set of constraints as before. However, we do support now
installing from a local plugin binary to any kind of source, and we
support loading them, including if a template wants this plugin
installed locally with version constraints.

Wilken Rivera f48583c57e github/getter: Adds a hostname check to Get function
This change adds a simple hostname validation check to validate that a
plugins source address is github.com before continuing with the Get
call. An issue was encountered when using a hostname different from
github.com, where the getter would continue to pull a plugin from GitHub
even if the hostname was something like "example.com". See log details
below.

Adrien Delorme ed091163be HCL2 Parse packer.required_plugins block + packer init (#10304)
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
