c8c208e083 hclwrite: Body.SetAttributeValue
For now, this is the only way to set an attribute, and so attributes can
only be set to literal values.

Later this will be generalized so that this is just a helper wrapper
around a "SetAttribute" method that just uses a given expression, which
then helps by constructing the expression from the value first.

77c0b55a59 hclwrite: Simplify internal data structures
The original prototype of hclwrite tried to track both the tokens and
the AST as two parallel data structures. This quickly exploded in
complexity, leading to lots of messy code to manage keeping those two
structures in sync.

This new approach melds the two structures together, creating first a
physical token tree (made of "node" objects, and hidden from the caller)
and then attaching the AST nodes to that token tree as additional sidecar
data.

The result is much easier to work with, leading to less code in the parser
and considerably less complex data structures in the parser's tests.

This commit is enough to reach feature parity with the previous prototype,
but it remains a prototype. With a more usable foundation, we'll evolve
this into a more complete implementation in subsequent commits.

d6367b5f96 hclwrite: Parsing of absolute traversals in expressions
This will allow for use-cases such as renaming a variable (changing the
content of the first token) and replacing variable references with
constant values that they evaluate to for debug purposes.

f87600a7d9 update zclsyntax to hclsyntax in various comments and strings
These are remnants of the project HCL was forked from.

708abb8c97 Move the zcl package and its two parsing subpackages to "hcl" names
This is a super-invasive update since the "zcl" package in particular
is referenced all over.

There are probably still a few zcl references hanging around in comments,
etc but this takes care of most of it.

0dc3a6015c Rename the ancillary packages from "zcl" to "hcl".
The main "zcl" package requires a bit more care because of how many
callers it has and because of its two subpackages, so we'll take care
of that one separately.
