    plugin: Establish our current plugin protocol as version 5 · 4fe9632f
    Martin Atkins authored
    The main significant change here is that the package name for the proto
    definition is "tfplugin5", which is important because this name is part
    of the wire protocol for references to types defined in our package.
    
    Along with that, we also move the generated package into "internal" to
    make it explicit that importing the generated Go package from elsewhere is
    not the right approach for externally-implemented SDKs, which should
    instead vendor the proto definition they are using and generate their
    own stubs to ensure that the wire protocol is the only hard dependency
    between Terraform Core and plugins.
    
    After this is merged, any provider binaries built against our
    helper/schema package will need to be rebuilt so that they use the new
    "tfplugin5" package name instead of "proto".
    
    In a future commit we will include more elaborate and organized
    documentation on how an external codebase might make use of our RPC
    interface definition to implement an SDK, but the primary concern here
    is to ensure we have the right wire package name before release.
