Add to terraform provider registry

Now that there is an official provider registry, this provider should be added

Going out of my mind trying to convert an existing project that uses this plugin as a local file from 0.12 to 0.13. Big thumbs up for pre-compiling and putting on the remote registry.

I initially got a bit confused reading the Terraform 0.13 documentation. I got the shell provider working by curling it off GitHub, unzipping it and putting it under .terraform/plugins/registry.terraform.io/hashicorp/shell/1.7.0/linux_amd64/. So Terraform labels it "hashicorp/shell", but it works, and that's the main thing, right?

@scottwinkler I'm currently using your provider on a project to wrap some PowerShell scripts. If I can be of any assistance in getting the provider into the registry please let me know.

As I understand it the requirements are:

• [x] the release zips file and binaries have to be named according to the convention (I believe you already do this)
• [ ] the release needs to contain a terraform-provider-{NAME}_{VERSION}_SHA256SUMS containing checksums for the zip files
• [ ] the release needs to contain a terraform-provider-{NAME}_{VERSION}_SHA256SUMS.sig containing a signature for the checksums file
• [ ] create a Terraform Registry account
• [ ] associate your GPG key with your Terraform Registry account: https://registry.terraform.io/settings/gpg-keys
• [ ] then publish the provider: https://registry.terraform.io/publish/provider to publish the provider

I think this is a one-off job, and then the Registry automatically gets notified via webhook when you put out new releases.

The instructions are here: https://www.terraform.io/docs/registry/providers/publishing.html

it is now on the provider registry but you need Terraform 0.13 to get it. here is a sample configuration: link: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scottwinkler/shell

terraform {
  required_providers {
    shell = {
      source = "scottwinkler/shell"
      version = "1.7.1"
    }
  }
}

data "shell_script" "weather" {
  lifecycle_commands {
    read = <<-EOF
        echo "{\"SanFrancisco\": \"$(curl wttr.in/SanFrancisco?format="%l:+%c+%t")\"}"
    EOF
  }
}

I cannot thank you enough Scott. This is gonna be awesome.

Big thanks! I can finally dump the binary from my repo and all the ugly custom provider management!
