Issue details

People like myself often opt to disable the default providers completely (through pulumi:disable-default-providers: [*] config) and set them up within Pulumi programs.

Currently this provider sets up the provider resource here, which cannot be configured by the user and doesn't follow the standard pattern in other Pulumi providers:

NewProvider(ctx *pulumi.Context, name string, args *ProviderArgs, opts ...pulumi.ResourceOption) (*Provider, error) {}

Adding Provider resource API.

Hey @FollieHiyuki, thanks for flagging this, it looks like we need to update this provider to support our modern code generation for SDKs.

The file and constructor you found in pulumi-terraform/provider/cmd/... is part of the plugin binary that implements Pulumi's Provider RPC. Our SDKs are always published under a directory pulumi-*/sdk/....

An example of that from another provider:
