`packer init' is meant to be invoked on a template file or a directory.
This was described in the command-line help message as
`[template.pkr.hcl|folder]'.
Because this is encapsulated between square brackets, this could be
taken as an option instead of a positional, mandatory argument.
This commit changes the wording to adopt a similar convention as `packer
build', so the two are consistent in how they are invoked, and to avoid
mistaking this argument as optional.
* used components that don't have a required_plugin block will make Packer 'implicitly' require those. These components are manually selected and commented for now.
* add tests
* docs
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"
