Martin Atkins 543e5f4971 docs: "Resource Instance Change Lifecycle" revised ...

The previous version of this document was produced in haste in order to
support the development of the new provider framework, and so it focused
only on the most important details and left some of the operations totally
unmentioned.

This new version aims to capture the full set of managed-resource-related
provider operations, documenting when Terraform Core will call them and
what the provider ought to do in order to meet Terraform Core's
expectations for a valid response.

This new version does still assume a certain amount of knowledge on the
part of the reader about broadly what Terraform does from a user
perspective and what role providers play in that process. Perhaps a future
revision will include some additional background context as well, but
this is a snapshot of what I had time to do today between other work and
so for now I focused on presenting the remaining operations in a similar
amount of detail to what was here before.
