Martin Atkins 6f35c2847b command: Reorganize docs of the local backend's legacy CLI options
We have these funny extra options that date back to before Terraform even
had remote state, which we've preserved along the way by most recently
incorporating them as special-case overrides for the local backend.

The documentation we had for these has grown less accurate over time as
the details have shifted, and was in many cases missing the requisite
caveats that they are only for the local backend and that backend
configuration is the modern, preferred way to deal with the use-cases they
were intended for.

We always have a bit of a tension with this sort of legacy option because
we want to keep them documented just enough to be useful to someone who
finds an existing script/etc using them and wants to know what they do,
but not to take up so much space that they might distract users from
finding the modern alternative they should consider instead.

As a compromise in that vein here I've created a new section about these
options under the local backend documentation, which then gives us the
space to go into some detail about the various behaviors and interactions
and also to discuss their history and our recommended alternatives. I then
simplified all of the other mentions of these in command documentation
to just link to or refer to the local backend documentation. My hope then
is that folks who need to know what these do can still find the docs, but
that information can be kept out of the direct path of new users so they
can focus on learning about remote backends instead.

This is certainly not the most ideal thing ever, but it seemed like the
best compromise between the competing priorities I described above.

Usage: terraform [global options] refresh [options]
Update the state file of your infrastructure with metadata that matches
the physical resources they are tracking.
This will not modify your infrastructure, but it can modify your
state file to update metadata. This metadata might cause new changes
to occur when you generate a plan or call apply next.
Options:
-compact-warnings If Terraform produces any warnings that are not
accompanied by errors, show them in a more compact form
that includes only the summary messages.
-input=true Ask for input for variables if not directly set.
-lock=true Lock the state file when locking is supported.
-lock-timeout=0s Duration to retry a state lock.
-no-color If specified, output won't contain any color.
-target=resource Resource to target. Operation will be limited to this
resource and its dependencies. This flag can be used
multiple times.
-var 'foo=bar' Set a variable in the Terraform configuration. This
flag can be set multiple times.
-var-file=foo Set variables in the Terraform configuration from
a file. If "terraform.tfvars" or any ".auto.tfvars"
files are present, they will be automatically loaded.
-state, state-out, and -backup are legacy options supported for the local
backend only. For more information, see the local backend's documentation.
