6631d7cd0a ext/dynblock: Make iterator variables visible to nested block for_each
Previously we were incorrectly passing down the original forEachCtx down
to nested child blocks for recursive expansion. Instead, we must use the
iteration-specific constructed EvalContext, which then allows any nested
dynamic blocks to use the parent's iterator variable in their for_each or
labels expressions, and thus unpack nested data structures into
corresponding nested block structures:

    dynamic "parent" {
      for_each = [["a", "b"], []]
      content {
        dynamic "child" {
          for_each = parent.value
          content {}
        }
      }
    }

6356254632 hcl: Include Expression reference in diagnostics
If a diagnostic occurs while we're evaluating an expression, we'll now
include a reference to that expression in the diagnostic object. We
previously added the corresponding EvalContext here too, and so with these
together it is now possible for a diagnostic renderer to see not only
what was in scope when the problem occurred but also what parts of that
scope the expression was relying on (via method Expression.Variables).

93562f805f hcl: Annotate diagnostics with expression EvalContext
When we're evaluating expressions, we may end up evaluating the same
source-level expression a number of times in different contexts, such as
in a 'for' expression, where each one may produce a different set of
diagnostic messages.

Now we'll attach the EvalContext to each expression diagnostic so that
a diagnostic renderer can potentially show additional information to help
distinguish the different iterations in rendered diagnostics.

da95646a33 ext/dynblock: dynamic blocks extension
This extension allows an application to support dynamic generation of
child blocks based on expressions in certain contexts. This is done using
a new block type called "dynamic", which contains an iteration value
(which must be a collection) and a specification of how to construct a
child block for each element of that collection.
