James Nugent 8d0a68e1d4 state/remote: Officially Support local backend
This is a rework of pull request #6213 submitted by @joshuaspence,
adjusted to work with the remote state data source. We also add
a deprecation warning for people using the unsupported API, and retain
the ability to refer to "_local" as well as "local" for users in a mixed
version environment.
