feat(destroy): add skip_trash_object_purge provider option #104

Closed jimeh closed 1 year ago

Some resources in Katapult are "trashable", meaning when they are deleted, they are instead soft-deleted and moved to the "Trash".

Terraform handles trashable resources by performing the regular delete that moves them to trash, followed by purging the resource from the trash. Effectively permanently deleting the resource.

Permanent deletion may not always be the desired behavior however, hence this new skip_trash_object_purge option. When enabled, trashable resources will be soft-deleted moving them to the trash, and then left alone to be automatically purged from the trash by Katapult after 48 hours.

Resources which have any unique values, will have their unique values suffixed with a random or object-unique value to avoid conflicts when replacing resources with Terraform. Without this, a new replacement VM with the same hostname for example, could not be created while the old VM with the same hostname was still in the trash.

Note, there are not tests that enable skip_trash_object_purge, this is an intentional oversight for now, and will be addressed later.
