config.Key has become a pair of namespace and name. Because the whole
world has not changed yet, there continues to be a way to convert
between a tokens.ModuleMember and config.Key, however now sometime the
conversion from tokens.ModuleMember can fail (when the module member
is not of the form `<package>:config:<name>`).
Right now, config.Key is a type alias for tokens.ModuleMember. I did a
pass over the codebase such that we use config.Key everywhere it
looked like the value did not leak to some external process (e.g a
resource provider or a langhost).
Doing this makes it a little clearer (hopefully) where code is
depending on a module member structure (e.g. <package>:config:<value>)
instead of just an opaque type.
As it stands, we only configure those providers for which configuration
is present. This can lead to surprising failure modes if those providers
are then used to create resources. These changes ensure that all
resource providers that are not configured during plan initialization
are configured upon first load.
Fixes#758.
Make many fixes to closure serialization
Primary things that i've done as part of this change:
Added support for cyclic objects.
Properly serialize objects that are shared across different function. previously you would get multiple copies, now you properly reference the same copy.
Remove the usages of 'hashes' for functions. Because we track identity of objects, we no longer need them.
Serialize properties of functions (if they have any).
Handle Objects/Functions with different __proto__s than normal. i.e. classes/constructors. but also anything the user may have done themselves to the object.
Handle generator functions.
Handle functions with 'computed' names.
Handle functions with 'symbol' names.
Handle serializing Promises as Promises.
Removed the dual Closure/AsyncClosure tree. One existed solely so we could have a tree without promises (for use in testing maybe?). Because this all exists in a part of our codebase that is entirely async, it's fine to have promises in the tree, and to await them when serializing the Closure to a string.
Handle serializing class-constructors and methods. Including properly handling 'super' calls.
This adds support for two things:
* Installing all plugins that a project requires with a single command:
$ pulumi plugin install
* Listing the plugins that this project requires:
$ pulumi plugin ls --project
$ pulumi plugin ls -p
This brings back the Node.js language plugin's GetRequiredPlugins
function, reimplemented in Go now that the language host has been
rewritten from JavaScript. Fairly rote translation, along with
some random fixes required to get tests passing again.
This change adds a GetRequiredPlugins RPC method to the language
host, enabling us to query it for its list of plugin requirements.
This is language-specific because it requires looking at the set
of dependencies (e.g., package.json files).
It also adds a call up front during any update/preview operation
to compute the set of plugins and require that they are present.
These plugins are populated in the cache and will be used for all
subsequent plugin-related operations during the engine's activity.
We now cache the language plugins, so that we may load them
eagerly too, which we never did previously due to the fact that
we needed to pass the monitor address at load time. This was a
bit bizarre anyhow, since it's really the Run RPC function that
needs this information. So, to enable caching and eager loading
-- which we need in order to invoke GetRequiredPlugins -- the
"phone home" monitor RPC address is passed at Run time.
In a subsequent change, we will switch to faulting in the plugins
that are missing -- rather than erroring -- in addition to
supporting the `pulumi plugin install` CLI command.
This addresses pulumi/pulumi#446: what we used to call "package" is
now called "project". This has gotten more confusing over time, now
that we're doing real package management.
Also fixespulumi/pulumi#426, while in here.
The existing logic would flow colorization information into the
engine, so depending on the settings in the CLI, the engine may or may
not have emitted colorized events. This coupling is not great and we
want to start moving to a world where the presentation happens
exclusively at the CLI level.
With this change, the engine will always produce strings that have the
colorization formatting directives (i.e. the directives that
reconquest/loreley understands) and the CLI will apply
colorization (which could mean either running loreley to turn the
directives into ANSI escape codes, or drop them or retain them, for
debuging purposes).
Fixes#742
This PR adds a new `pulumi history` command, which prints the update history for a stack.
The local backend stores the update history in a JSON file on disk, next to the checkpoint file. The cloud backend simply provides the update metadata, and expects to receive all the data from a (NYI) `/history` REST endpoint.
`pkg/backend/updates.go` defines the data that is being persisted. The way the data is wired through the system is adding a new `backend.UpdateMetadata` parameter to a Stack/Backend's `Update` and `Destroy` methods.
I use `tests/integration/stack_outputs/` as the simple app for the related tests, hence the addition to the `.gitignore` and fixing the name in the `Pulumi.yaml`.
Fixes#636.
My previous change to stop supplying unknown properties to providers
broke `pulumi preview` in the case of unknown inputs. This change
restores the previous behavior for previews only; the new unknown-free
behavior remains for applies.
Fixes#790.
These changes refactor the engine's entrypoints--Deploy, Destroy, and
Preview--to be update-centric rather than stack-centric. Each of these
methods now takes a value of a new type, Update, that abstracts away the
vagaries of fetching and maintaining the update's state. This
refactoring also reinforces Pulumi.yaml as a CLI concept rather than an
engine concept; the CLI is now the only reader/writer of this format.
These changes will smooth the way for a few refactorings on the service
side that will aid in update isolation.
This change implements resource protection, as per pulumi/pulumi#689.
The overall idea is that a resource can be marked as "protect: true",
which will prevent deletion of that resource for any reason whatsoever
(straight deletion, replacement, etc). This is expressed in the
program. To "unprotect" a resource, one must perform an update setting
"protect: false", and then afterwards, they can delete the resource.
For example:
let res = new MyResource("precious", { .. }, { protect: true });
Afterwards, the resource will display in the CLI with a lock icon, and
any attempts to remove it will fail in the usual ways (in planning or,
worst case, during an actual update).
This was done by adding a new ResourceOptions bag parameter to the
base Resource types. This is unfortunately a breaking change, but now
is the right time to take this one. We had been adding new settings
one by one -- like parent and dependsOn -- and this new approach will
set us up to add any number of additional settings down the road,
without needing to worry about breaking anything ever again.
This is related to protected stacks, as described in
pulumi/pulumi-service#399. Most likely this will serve as a foundational
building block that enables the coarser grained policy management.
We hadn't previously passed the planning flag when printing resource
outputs, meaning any computed ones now are being printed as "undefined".
Instead, we prefer to see the "computed<string>" type name.
Part of the work to make it easier to tests of diff output. Specifically, we now allow users to pass --color=option for several pulumi commands. 'option' can be one of 'always', 'never', 'raw', and 'auto' (the default).
The meaning of these flags are:
1. auto: colorize normally, unless in --debug
2. always: always colorize no matter what
3. never: never colorize no matter what.
4. raw: colorize, but preserve the original "<{%%}>" style control codes and not the translated platform specific codes. This is for testing purposes and ensures we can have test for this stuff across platform.
Rather than displaying `computed` as we do during previews, display
`undefined` instead, as these values may be intentionally undefined by
the user's program.
Fixes#633.
Previously, we would compute all the output from the preview operation
and then display it as a single event. Instead, we should do this how
we handle things during deploy. Each logical print operaton gets a
single event and we stream them back over a channel during planning.
Fixes#660
This change just flows the project's "main" directory all the way
through to the plugins, fixing #667. In that work item, we discussed
alternative approaches, such as rewriting the asset paths, but this
is tricky because it's very tough to do without those absolute paths
somehow ending up in the checkpoint files. Just launching the
processes with the right pwd is far easier and safer, and it turns
out that, conveniently, we set up the plugin context in exactly the
same place that we read the project information.
This changes two things:
1) Always show the root stack, even when unchanged. This ensures
that you see the outputs during any updates, etc., which is nice.
2) Always show all outputs after operations. Before, we did some
diffing between old/new, which actually doesn't make much sense.
These changes push the `config.{Map,Value}` interfaces further down into
the deployment engine so that configuration can be decrypted nearer to
its use.
This is the first part of the fix for pulumi/pulumi-ppc#112.
As documented in issue #616, the inputs/defaults/outputs model we have
today has fundamental problems. The crux of the issue is that our
current design requires that defaults present in the old state of a
resource are applied to the new inputs for that resource.
Unfortunately, it is not possible for the engine to decide which
defaults remain applicable and which do not; only the provider has that
knowledge.
These changes take a more tactical approach to resolving this issue than
that originally proposed in #616 that avoids breaking compatibility with
existing checkpoints. Rather than treating the Pulumi inputs as the
provider input properties for a resource, these inputs are first
translated by `Check`. In order to accommodate provider defaults that
were chosen for the old resource but should not change for the new,
`Check` now takes the old provider inputs as well as the new Pulumi
inputs. Rather than the Pulumi inputs and provider defaults, the
provider inputs returned by `Check` are recorded in the checkpoint file.
Put simply, these changes remove defaults as a first-class concept
(except inasmuch as is required to retain the ability to read old
checkpoint files) and move the responsibilty for manging and
merging defaults into the provider that supplies them.
Fixes#616.
This improves the overall cloud CLI experience workflow.
Now whether a stack is local or cloud is inherent to the stack
itself. If you interact with a cloud stack, we transparently talk
to the cloud; if you interact with a local stack, we just do the
right thing, and perform all operations locally. Aside from sometimes
seeing a cloud emoji pop-up ☁️, the experience is quite similar.
For example, to initialize a new cloud stack, simply:
$ pulumi login
Logging into Pulumi Cloud: https://pulumi.com/
Enter Pulumi access token: <enter your token>
$ pulumi stack init my-cloud-stack
Note that you may log into a specific cloud if you'd like. For
now, this is just for our own testing purposes, but someday when we
support custom clouds (e.g., Enterprise), you can just say:
$ pulumi login --cloud-url https://corp.acme.my-ppc.net:9873
The cloud is now the default. If you instead prefer a "fire and
forget" style of stack, you can skip the login and pass `--local`:
$ pulumi stack init my-faf-stack --local
If you are logged in and run `pulumi`, we tell you as much:
$ pulumi
Usage:
pulumi [command]
// as before...
Currently logged into the Pulumi Cloud ☁️https://pulumi.com/
And if you list your stacks, we tell you which one is local or not:
$ pulumi stack ls
NAME LAST UPDATE RESOURCE COUNT CLOUD URL
my-cloud-stack 2017-12-01 ... 3 https://pulumi.com/
my-faf-stack n/a 0 n/a
And `pulumi stack` by itself prints information like your cloud org,
PPC name, and so on, in addition to the usuals.
I shall write up more details and make sure to document these changes.
This change also fairly significantly refactors the layout of cloud
versus local logic, so that the cmd/ package is resonsible for CLI
things, and the new pkg/backend/ package is responsible for the
backends. The following is the overall resulting package architecture:
* The backend.Backend interface can be implemented to substitute
a new backend. This has operations to get and list stacks,
perform updates, and so on.
* The backend.Stack struct is a wrapper around a stack that has
or is being manipulated by a Backend. It resembles our existing
Stack notions in the engine, but carries additional metadata
about its source. Notably, it offers functions that allow
operations like updating and deleting on the Backend from which
it came.
* There is very little else in the pkg/backend/ package.
* A new package, pkg/backend/local/, encapsulates all local state
management for "fire and forget" scenarios. It simply implements
the above logic and contains anything specific to the local
experience.
* A peer package, pkg/backend/cloud/, encapsulates all logic
required for the cloud experience. This includes its subpackage
apitype/ which contains JSON schema descriptions required for
REST calls against the cloud backend. It also contains handy
functions to list which clouds we have authenticated with.
* A subpackage here, pkg/backend/state/, is not a provider at all.
Instead, it contains all of the state management functions that
are currently shared between local and cloud backends. This
includes configuration logic -- including encryption -- as well
as logic pertaining to which stacks are known to the workspace.
This addresses pulumi/pulumi#629 and pulumi/pulumi#494.
This change adds prefix +/- change markers for added and deleted
lines, in addition to the existing colorization. It also elides
empty strings from the diff which, due to our newline splitting,
always ended up with extra whitespace in the +/- output.
This change simplifies the necessary RPC changes for components.
Instead of a Begin/End pair, which complicates the whole system
because now we have the opportunity of a missing End call, we will
simply let RPCs come in that append outputs to existing states.
This change brings back component outputs to the overall system again.
In doing so, it generally overhauls the way we do resource RPCs a bit:
* Instead of RegisterResource and CompleteResource, we call these
BeginRegisterResource and EndRegisterResource, which begins to model
these as effectively "asynchronous" resource requests. This should also
help with parallelism (https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi/issues/106).
* Flip the CLI/engine a little on its head. Rather than it driving the
planning and deployment process, we move more to a model where it
simply observes it. This is done by implementing an event handler
interface with three events: OnResourceStepPre, OnResourceStepPost,
and OnResourceComplete. The first two are invoked immediately before
and after any step operation, and the latter is invoked whenever a
EndRegisterResource comes in. The reason for the asymmetry here is
that the checkpointing logic in the deployment engine is largely
untouched (intentionally, as this is a sensitive part of the system),
and so the "begin"/"end" nature doesn't flow through faithfully.
* Also make the engine more event-oriented in its terminology and the
way it handles the incoming BeginRegisterResource and
EndRegisterResource events from the language host. This is the first
step down a long road of incrementally refactoring the engine to work
this way, a necessary prerequisite for parallelism.
* Don't show +s, -s, and ~s deeply. The intended format here looks
more like
+ aws:iam/instanceProfile:InstanceProfile (create)
[urn=urn:pulumi:test::aws/minimal::aws/iam/instanceProfile:InstanceProfile::ip2]
name: "ip2-079a29f428dc9987"
path: "/"
role: "ir-d0a632e3084a0252"
versus
+ aws:iam/instanceProfile:InstanceProfile (create)
+ [urn=urn:pulumi:test::aws/minimal::aws/iam/instanceProfile:InstanceProfile::ip2]
+ name: "ip2-079a29f428dc9987"
+ path: "/"
+ role: "ir-d0a632e3084a0252"
This makes it easier to see the resources modified in the output.
* Print adds/deletes during updates as
- property: "x"
+ property: "y"
rather than
~ property: "x"
~ property: "y"
the latter of which doesn't really tell you what's new/old.
* Show parent indentation on output properties, so they line up correctly.
* Only print stack outputs if not undefined.
This change switches from child lists to parent pointers, in the
way resource ancestries are represented. This cleans up a fair bit
of the old parenting logic, including all notion of ambient parent
scopes (and will notably address pulumi/pulumi#435).
This lets us show a more parent/child display in the output when
doing planning and updating. For instance, here is an update of
a lambda's text, which is logically part of a cloud timer:
* cloud:timer:Timer: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud:☁️timer:Timer::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
* cloud:function:Function: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud:☁️function:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
* aws:serverless:Function: (same)
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud::aws:serverless:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
~ aws:lambda/function:Function: (modify)
[id=lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots-fee4f3bf41280741]
[urn=urn:pulumi:malta::lm-cloud::aws:lambda/function:Function::lm-cts-malta-job-CleanSnapshots]
- code : archive(assets:2092f44) {
// etc etc etc
Note that we still get walls of text, but this will be actually
quite nice when combined with pulumi/pulumi#454.
I've also suppressed printing properties that didn't change during
updates when --detailed was not passed, and also suppressed empty
strings and zero-length arrays (since TF uses these as defaults in
many places and it just makes creation and deletion quite verbose).
Note that this is a far cry from everything we can possibly do
here as part of pulumi/pulumi#340 (and even pulumi/pulumi#417).
But it's a good start towards taming some of our output spew.
By default, debugging events are not displayed by `pulumi`; the `-d`
flag must be provided to enable their display. This is necessary e.g.
to view debugging output from Terraform when TF logging is enabled.
These changes add the option to display debug output from `pulumi` to
the integration test framework.
These changes also contain a small fix for the display of component
children.
This change adds back component output properties. Doing so
requires splitting the RPC interface for creating resources in
half, with an initial RegisterResource which contains all of the
input properties, and a final CompleteResource which optionally
contains any output properties synthesized by the component.
This change switches from child lists to parent pointers, in the
way resource ancestries are represented. This cleans up a fair bit
of the old parenting logic, including all notion of ambient parent
scopes (and will notably address pulumi/pulumi#435).
This lets us show a more parent/child display in the output when
doing planning and updating. For instance, here is an update of
a lambda's text, which is logically part of a cloud timer:

But it's a good start towards taming some of our output spew.
Because the Pulumi.yaml file demarcates the boundary used when
uploading a program to the Pulumi.com service at the moment, we
have trouble when a Pulumi program uses "up and over" references.
For instance, our customer wants to build a Dockerfile located
in some relative path, such as `../../elsewhere/`.
To support this, we will allow the Pulumi.yaml file to live
somewhere other than the main Pulumi entrypoint. For example,
it can live at the root of the repo, while the Pulumi program
lives in, say, `infra/`:
Pulumi.yaml:
name: as-before
main: infra/
This fixespulumi/pulumi#575. Further work can be done here to
provide even more flexibility; see pulumi/pulumi#574.
Adds OpenTracing in the Pulumi engine and plugin + langhost subprocesses.
We currently create a single root span for any `Enging.plan` operation - which is a single `preview`, `update`, `destroy`, etc.
The only sub-spans we currently create are at gRPC boundaries, both on the client and server sides and on both the langhost and provider plugin interfaces.
We could extend this to include spans for any other semantically meaningful sections of compute inside the engine, though initial examples show we get pretty good granularity of coverage by focusing on the gRPC boundaries.
In the future, this should be easily extensible to HTTP boundaries and to track other bulky I/O like datastore read/writes once we hook up to the PPC and Pulumi Cloud.
We expose a `--trace <endpoint>` option to enable tracing on the CLI, which we will aim to thread through to subprocesses.
We currently support sending tracing data to a Zipkin-compatible endpoint. This has been validated with both Zipkin and Jaeger UIs.
We do not yet have any tracing inside the TypeScript side of the JS langhost RPC interface. There is not yet automatic gRPC OpenTracing instrumentation (though it looks like it's in progress now) - so we would need to manually create meaningful spans on that side of the interface.
This improves a few things about assets:
* Compute and store hashes as input properties, so that changes on
disk are recognized and trigger updates (pulumi/pulumi#153).
* Issue explicit and prompt diagnostics when an asset is missing or
of an unexpected kind, rather than failing late (pulumi/pulumi#156).
* Permit raw directories to be passed as archives, in addition to
archive formats like tar, zip, etc. (pulumi/pulumi#240).
* Permit not only assets as elements of an archive's member list, but
also other archives themselves (pulumi/pulumi#280).
This change adds functions, `pulumi.getProject()` and `pulumi.getStack()`,
to fetch the names of the project and stack, respectively. These can be
handy in generating names, specializing areas of the code, etc.
This fixespulumi/pulumi#429.
This change implements core support for "components" in the Pulumi
Fabric. This work is described further in pulumi/pulumi#340, where
we are still discussing some of the finer points.
In a nutshell, resources no longer imply external providers. It's
entirely possible to have a resource that logically represents
something but without having a physical manifestation that needs to
be tracked and managed by our typical CRUD operations.
For example, the aws/serverless/Function helper is one such type.
It aggregates Lambda-related resources and exposes a nice interface.
All of the Pulumi Cloud Framework resources are also examples.
To indicate that a resource does participate in the usual CRUD resource
provider, it simply derives from ExternalResource instead of Resource.
All resources now have the ability to adopt children. This is purely
a metadata/tagging thing, and will help us roll up displays, provide
attribution to the developer, and even hide aspects of the resource
graph as appropriate (e.g., when they are implementation details).
Our use of this capability is ultra limited right now; in fact, the
only place we display children is in the CLI output. For instance:
+ aws:serverless:Function: (create)
[urn=urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:serverless:Function::mylambda]
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:iam/role:Role::mylambda-iamrole
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:iam/rolePolicyAttachment:RolePolicyAttachment::mylambda-iampolicy-0
=> urn:pulumi:demo::serverless::aws:lambda/function:Function::mylambda
The bit indicating whether a resource is external or not is tracked
in the resulting checkpoint file, along with any of its children.
Previously, the engine would write to io.Writer's to display output.
When hosted in `pulumi` these writers were tied to os.Stdout and
os.Stderr, but other applications hosting the engine could send them
other places (e.g. a log to be sent to an another application later).
While much better than just using the ambient streams, this was still
not the best. It would be ideal if the engine could just emit strongly
typed events and whatever is hosting the engine could care about
displaying them.
As a first step down that road, we move to a model where operations on
the engine now take a `chan engine.Event` and during the course of the
operation, events are written to this channel. It is the
responsibility of the caller of the method to read from the channel
until it is closed (singifying that the operation is complete).
The events we do emit are still intermingle presentation with data,
which is unfortunate, but can be improved over time. Most of the
events today are just colorized in the client and printed to stdout or
stderr without much thought.
Now that `deploy.Step.Pre` is no more, we can simplify the `StepActions`
interface down to a single method, `Run`, which performs all actions
associated with the step. This feeds into #388.
`deploy.Plan.Apply` was only consumed by the engine, and seemed to be in
the wrong place given the API exported by the rest of `Plan` (i.e.
`Plan.Start` + `PlanIterator`). Furthermore, we were missing a reasonable
opportunity to share code between `update` and `preview`, both of which
need to walk the plan. These changes move the plan walk into `package engine`
as `planResult.Walk` and replace the `Progress` interface with a new interface,
`StepActions`, which subsumes the functionality of the former and adds support
for implementation-specific step execution. `planResult.Walk` is then
consumed by both `Engine.Deploy` and `Engine.PrintPlan`.
Print "modified" rather than "modifyd". This introduces a new method,
`resource.StepOp.PastTense()`, which returns the past tense description
of the operation.
This change improves our output formatting by generally adding
fewer prefixes. As shown in pulumi/pulumi#359, we were being
excessively verbose in many places, including prefixing every
console.out with "langhost[nodejs].stdout: ", displaying full
stack traces for simple errors like missing configuration, etc.
Overall, this change includes the following:
* Don't prefix stdout and stderr output from the program, other
than the standard "info:" prefix. I experimented with various
schemes here, but they all felt gratuitous. Simply emitting
the output seems fine, especially as it's closer to what would
happen if you just ran the program under node.
* Do NOT make writes to stderr fail the plan/deploy. Previously
we assumed that any console.errors, for instance, meant that
the overall program should fail. This simply isn't how stderr
is treated generally and meant you couldn't use certain
logging techniques and libraries, among other things.
* Do make sure that stderr writes in the program end up going to
stderr in the Pulumi CLI output, however, so that redirection
works as it should. This required a new Infoerr log level.
* Make a small fix to the planning logic so we don't attempt to
print the summary if an error occurs.
* Finally, add a new error type, RunError, that when thrown and
uncaught does not result in a full stack trace being printed.
Anyone can use this, however, we currently use it for config
errors so that we can terminate with a pretty error message,
rather than the monstrosity shown in pulumi/pulumi#359.
This includes a few changes:
* The repo name -- and hence the Go modules -- changes from pulumi-fabric to pulumi.
* The Node.js SDK package changes from @pulumi/pulumi-fabric to just pulumi.
* The CLI is renamed from lumi to pulumi.
This change flips the polarity on parallelism: rather than having a
--serialize flag, we will have a --parallel=P flag, and by default
we will shut off parallelism. We aren't benefiting from it at the
moment (until we implement pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106), and there are
more hidden dependencies in places like AWS Lambdas and Permissions
than I had realized. We may revisit the default, but this allows
us to bite off the messiness of dependsOn only when we benefit from
it. And in any case, the --parallel=P capability will be useful.
This change adds an optiona dependsOn parameter to Resource constructors,
to "force" a fake dependency between resources. We have an extremely strong
desire to resort to using this only in unusual cases -- and instead rely
on the natural dependency DAG based on properties -- but experience in other
resource provisioning frameworks tells us that we're likely to need this in
the general case. Indeed, we've already encountered the need in AWS's
API Gateway resources... and I suspect we'll run into more especially as we
tackle non-serverless resources like EC2 Instances, where "ambient"
dependencies are far more commonplace.
This also makes parallelism the default mode of operation, and we have a
new --serialize flag that can be used to suppress this default behavior.
Full disclosure: I expect this to become more Make-like, i.e. -j 8, where
you can specify the precise width of parallelism, when we tackle
pulumi/pulumi-fabric#106. I also think there's a good chance we will flip
the default, so that serial execution is the default, so that developers
who don't benefit from the parallelism don't need to worry about dependsOn
in awkward ways. This tends to be the way most tools (like Make) operate.
This fixespulumi/pulumi-fabric#335.
As explained in pulumi/pulumi-fabric#293, we were a little ad-hoc in
how configuration was "applied" to resource providers.
In fact, config wasn't ever communicated directly to providers; instead,
the resource providers would simply ask the engine to read random heap
locations (via tokens). Now that we're on a plan where configuration gets
handed to the program at startup, and that's that, and where generally
speaking resource providers never communicate directly with the language
runtime, we need to take a different approach.
As such, the resource provider interface now offers a Configure RPC
method that the resource planning engine will invoke at the right
times with the right subset of configuration variables filtered to
just that provider's package. This fixespulumi/pulumi#293.
This refactors the engine so all of the APIs on it are instance
methods on the type instead of raw methods that float around and use
data from a global engine.
A mechcanical change as we remove the global `E` and then make
anything that interacted with that in pkg/engine to be an instance
method and the dealing with the fallout.
