When installing a plugin, previous versions of Pulumi extracted the
plugin tarball to a temp directory and then renamed the temp directory
to the final plugin directory. This was done to prevent concurrent
installs: if a process fails to rename the temp dir because the final
dir already exists, it means another process already installed the
plugin. Unfortunately, on Windows the rename operation often fails due
to aggressive virus scanners opening files in the temp dir.
In order to provide reliable plugin installs on Windows, we now extract
the tarball directly into the final directory, and use file locks to
prevent concurrent installs from toppling over one another.
During install, a lock file is created in the plugin cache directory
with the same name as the plugin's final directory but suffixed with
`.lock`. The process that obtains the lock is responsible for extracting
the tarball. Before it does that, it cleans up any previous temp
directories of failed installs of previous versions of Pulumi. Then it
creates an empty `.partial` file next to the `.lock` file. The
`.partial` file indicates an installation is in-progress. The `.partial`
file is deleted when installation is complete, indicating the plugin was
successfully installed. If a failure occurs during installation, the
`.partial` file will remain indicating the plugin wasn't fully
installed. The next time the plugin is installed, the old installation
directory will be removed and replaced with a fresh install.
This is the same approach Go uses for installing modules in its
module cache.
Just what it says on the tin. This is implemented by changing the
`GetPackageConfig` method of `ConfigSource` to return a `PropertyMap`
and ensuring that any secret config is represented by a `Secret`.
This is necessary due to the way we've factored the libraries imported
by users into modules. The primary alternative is to ensure that each
child module imports the root module for a package and registers itself
with that package where necessary to prevent circular dependencies. This
simplifies the core SDKs slightly at the cost of greater complications
in the generated SDKs; the approach taken by these changes seems like a
more maintainable option.

Resources are serialized as their URN, ID, and package version. Each
Pulumi package is expected to register itself with the SDK. The package
will be invoked to construct appropriate instances of rehydrated
resources. Packages are distinguished by their name and their version.
This is the foundation of cross-process resources.

These changes add support for provider-side previews of create and
update operations, which allows resource providers to supply output
property values for resources that are being created or updated during a
preview.
If a plugin supports provider-side preview, its create/update methods
will be invoked during previews with the `preview` property set to true.
It is the responsibility of the provider to fill in any output
properties that are known before returning. It is a best practice for
providers to only fill in property values that are guaranteed to be
identical if the preview were instead an update (i.e. only those output
properties whose values can be conclusively determined without
actually performing the create/update operation should be populated).
Providers that support previews must accept unknown values in their
create and update methods.
If a plugin does not support provider-side preview, the inputs to a
create or update operation will be propagated to the outputs as they are
today.
Fixes#4992.
