v2.6.0 provider error

[nikolay]

Only upgrading the provider version constraint to ~> 0.26.0 now shows:

╷
│ Error: Invalid provider configuration
│
│ Provider "registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/tfe" requires explicit
│ configuration. Add a provider block to the root module and configure the

This is using Terraform Cloud and TFE_ENGINE environment variable is set within the workspace. The runs are remote.

I did not have an explicit provider block before and it worked for ages, but now it seems that at least the minimal provider block is required for it to work with TFC:

provider "tfe" {
  hostname = "app.terraform.io"
}

You can also set a TFE_HOSTNAME env var.

@freimer I never had to do this before (and docs clearly say it defaults to app.terraform.io). It needs to be documented as v2.6 is not backward-compatible.
