provider/archive: Implementing archive provider

[BSick7]

Purpose

This introduces a provider to generate archive files from content, a file, or a directory of files.
The original impetus for this is the ability to package lambda functions on-the-fly without the need for specific zip utilities packaged in your repo.

This PR only includes support for zip files.

Checklist

• Implement archive provider
• Implement archive_file resource
• Test archive_file resource
• Implement "zip" archiver
• Test "zip" archiver
• Add archive provider docs

👍 this will make it so much easier to work with aws_lambda_finction resources

So i've been testing this for a while now with lambda and it works well - i am going to merge it :) I believe it's a simple and effective way of getting going

Thanks @BSick7

This should say zip, right?

[BSick7]

Good find! I guess I was a little aggressive when I renamed zip to archive.

#8373

Maybe I have missed something, but how does it track, that source_file was changed? I didn't find anything similar to source_code_hash of aws_lambda_function.

Hey all! Please take note of #9924, which implements a base_archive argument so you can keep all the dependencies of the lambda function in an archive and add individual files to that instead of cluttering the directory tree (and your repository)

Let me know if there is anything i can do to increase the chances of this ending up in terraform. I'm planning to release a module that makes use of this.
