Support for init for versions > 0.10.0

[dpires]

As of v0.10, provider plugins are no longer included in the main Terraform distribution. Instead, they are distributed separately and installed automatically by the terraform init command.

Without an option to run init, an error will be returned:

Could not satisfy plugin requirements.

Plugins are external binaries that Terraform uses to access and manipulate
resources. The configuration provided requires plugins which can't be located,
don't satisfy the version constraints, or are otherwise incompatible.

Hello,

Just dropping in a nudge here.
The issue seems to have been open for some time and someone in the community has a pull request with the fix.
Who can look at this open item from Jenkins and merge the Pull Request?

UPDATE:

@dpires , I see you work inside the organization. and read some of the other issues. I assume the pull request cannot be merged due to back support of the other versions?

@ctmcisco I believe the PR was for pipeline/programmatic support. Adding init to the UI would be confusing and it would break. I think the best approach is to make a v2 breaking change and add support for all the latest changes
