These changes add initial support for the construction of remote components. For now, this support is limited to the NodeJS SDK; follow-up changes will implement support for the other SDKs. Remote components are component resources that are constructed and managed by plugins rather than by Pulumi programs. In this sense, they are a bit like cloud resources, and are supported by the same distribution and plugin loading mechanisms and described by the same schema system. The construction of a remote component is initiated by a `RegisterResourceRequest` with the new `remote` field set to `true`. When the resource monitor receives such a request, it loads the plugin that implements the component resource and calls the `Construct` method added to the resource provider interface as part of these changes. This method accepts the information necessary to construct the component and its children: the component's name, type, resource options, inputs, and input dependencies. It is responsible for dispatching to the appropriate component factory to create the component, then returning its URN, resolved output properties, and output property dependencies. The dependency information is necessary to support features such as delete-before-replace, which rely on precise dependency information for custom resources. These changes also add initial support for more conveniently implementing resource providers in NodeJS. The interface used to implement such a provider is similar to the dynamic provider interface (and may be unified with that interface in the future). An example of a NodeJS program constructing a remote component resource also implemented in NodeJS can be found in `tests/construct_component/nodejs`. This is the core of #2430.
