Martin Atkins 8f77bd344e lang/funcs: Filesystem functions hint about dynamically-generated files
The functions that interact with the filesystem are, by design, restricted
to reading files that are distributed as a static part of the
configuration, and cannot be used to interact with files that are
generated dynamically by resources in the configuration.

However, new users have often yet developed a correct mental model of how
Terraform execution works and are confused by the terse error messages
these functions return. As an interim step to help some of those users,
this just adds some more commentary to the error message which gives a
vague, generic directive to look to attributes of the resource that is
generating the file, which should (if it's designed well) export
attributes that allow the resulting file to be used effectively with
common patterns, such as checksums of the content of the generated file.

The error message here is not particularly attractive due to the
limitations of the context where it's being returned from, but I'm
accepting that here in the interest of keeping this change simple, so we
can give a hint about a case that seems to frequently generate new-user
questions. We may iterate further on the presentation of this message
later.
