Config generation wraps numbers and booleans in jsonencode

HEAD

Terraform Configuration Files

import {
  to = test_resource.foo
  id = "someresourceid"
}

Debug Output

N/A

Expected Behavior

When running with -generate-config-out=generate.tf, if the returned resource has is a string type, but contains a number or a bool, the output attribute should be a string. e.g.

resource "test_resource" "foo" {
  some_string_attribute = "1234"
}

Actual Behavior

resource "test_resource" "foo" {
  some_string_attribute = jsonencode(1234)
}

Steps to Reproduce

Create an import block for a resource with a string attribute, but with a value that is a primitive, deserializable json type (number or bool) and run terraform plan -generate-config-out=generated.tf
