Track usage of cloud block

[radeksimko]

Background

Terraform Cloud users can use the remote backend type to enable CLI-driven run workflow in TFC.

For example:

terraform {
  backend "remote" {
    hostname = "app.terraform.io"
    organization = "company"

    workspaces {
      name = "my-app-prod"
    }
  }
}

Recently, Terraform 1.1 introduced a dedicated cloud block:

terraform {
  cloud {
    organization = "example_corp"

    workspaces {
      tags = ["app"]
    }
  }
}

Knowing the migration rate towards the cloud block would help the broader Terraform team and us too, so we know how many users still need help with the migration, which we can offer e.g. via dedicated code action.

Proposal

• Reflect TFC cloud block in terraform terraform-schema#81

Add extra field to the moduleData telemetry event we already track:

{
    "v": 1,
    "name": "moduleData",
    "properties": {
        "backend": "remote",
        "cloud": {},
    }
}

TODO - may need some minor changes in hcl-lang
