[BUG] When creating a resource with Terraform that has already been created somewhere else it hangs...

[fernando-villalba]

Description

If you create a resource in the Civo platform via the CLI for example, and then you try to create a resource with the same name in Terraform, the expected behaviour should be that it fails immediately with an error message saying something like:

"Resource X already exists, please go to dashboard https://dashboard.civo.com/ and check or pick a different name for resource"

Instead terraform just hangs until timeout is reached in 2 minutes, wasting a lot of the user's time.

Do this first:

civo network create test-crazy 

And then apply this:

resource "civo_network" "test-issue" {
    label = "test-crazy"
}

Result:

civo_network.test-issue: Creating...
civo_instance.foo: Creating...
civo_network.test-issue: Creation complete after 0s [id=14ba5453-c246-4446-b93e-5c3c90af387e]

Acceptance Criteria

• Fix this for instances and network. Instead of timing out, fail quickly with an error message similar to "Resource X already exists, please go to dashboard https://dashboard.civo.com/ and check or pick a different name for resource"
• Check other resources and see if the same happens and fix that too
