Martin Atkins 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.

// Expand "dynamic" blocks in the given body, returning a new body that
// has those blocks expanded.
//
// The given EvalContext is used when evaluating "for_each" and "labels"
// attributes within dynamic blocks, allowing those expressions access to
// variables and functions beyond the iterator variable created by the
// iteration.
//
// Expand returns no diagnostics because no blocks are actually expanded
// until a call to Content or PartialContent on the returned body, which
// will then expand only the blocks selected by the schema.
//
// "dynamic" blocks are also expanded automatically within nested blocks
// in the given body, including within other dynamic blocks, thus allowing
// multi-dimensional iteration. However, it is not possible to
// dynamically-generate the "dynamic" blocks themselves except through nesting.
