b0134908b0 hclwrite: Allow removing attributes and blocks from bodies
Previously we allowed adding both attributes and blocks, and we allowed
updating attributes, but we had no mechanism to surgically remove
attributes and blocks altogether.

6c4344623b Unfold the "hcl" directory up into the root
The main HCL package is more visible this way, and so it's easier than
having to pick it out from dozens of other package directories.

This is in preparation for the first v2 release from the main HCL
repository.

fd915f557d hclwrite: Rename Body.AppendBlock to AppendNewBlock
Since this function implicitly creates a new body, this name is more
appropriate and leaves the name "AppendBlock" open for a later method to
append an _existing_ block, such as when moving a block from one file
to another.

57c6d75eb8 hclwrite: Body.AppendBlock
This method allows a caller to generate a nested block within a body.
Since a nested block has its own content body, this now allows for deep
structures to be generated.

04d1413613 hclwrite: Split Attribute and Block into their own source files
These will grow to have significant logic of their own, so hiding them at
the end of the Body file makes things harder to read.

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.
