Replace and enhance the `null_resource` functionality with a new `terraform_data` managed resource.
Rename `triggers` to be more descriptive, making it similar to `replace_triggered_by`.

Add a new managed resource,
terraform_data, which incorporates and enhances the functionality ofnull_resource, making use of features not available through the legacy SDK.This new resource has 4 attributes:
id: A unique computed string.triggers_replace: A value of any type which will trigger replacement when changed.input: A value of any type, which will be reflected inoutputafter apply.output: Computed from theinputvalue, which during plan will be unknown of the same type asinput, and identical toinputafter apply.This gives us a built-in replacement for
null_resource, while adding some key new features; the ability to store and reference data of any arbitrary type, and create unknown values during plan via the input and output attributes.Documentation updates will be handled in a separate PR.
