Add tag property to newrelic resources that support tags

[favandemeer]

Feature Description

Add a tags property to the newrelic terraform resources so we can set that on creation already.

Describe Alternatives

The way it works now is very uncomfortable, as you have to create the resource, await it being created, scrape the data source again to find its id and then use the newrelic_entity_tags resource to add tags.

Additional context

It would be great if we could add tags as a property in all resources in the newrelic provider that support tags.

This would bring it line with existing behaviour of other popular Terraform providers—such as AWS—wherein resources can be natively tagged on creation.

In our monitoring estate, I can see this leading to wider adoption of workloads as well since we could better filter on tagged entities to render what's important. Thanks.

I believe this is related to this issue #756

For us, this is related to #756 in that the synthetics are what we'd like to be able to tag. However, I don't believe this should depend on #756. It should be entirely possible to add a tags section to entities supporting tags and have the provider wait for the GUID to become available (if the resource is being created and a wait is necessary) regardless of which API is being used in the backend (REST or NerdGraph).

Support for tags has been added to the new Synthetics resources: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/newrelic/newrelic/latest/docs/guides/migration_guide_v3

As it is unlikely other API's will start supporting tags through their create/update mutations I'm going to close this ticket. As almost every resource now returns a GUID it should be possible to use the https://registry.terraform.io/providers/newrelic/newrelic/latest/docs/resources/entity_tags resource.

If you encounter any API delays that stop you from using the entity_tags or requiring multiple terraform runs, please create a ticket so we can improve those cases.
