support .tf.json files

[jrobison-sb]

• Terraform itself supports .tf.json files, so tfupdate should support them as well. Currently it seems that it does not.

$ cat main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = "0.13.5"
}

$ cat main.tf.json 
{
  "terraform": {
    "required_version": "= 0.13.5"
  }
}

$ tfupdate terraform -v 0.14.11 -r ./

$ cat main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = "0.14.11"
}

$ cat main.tf.json 
{
  "terraform": {
    "required_version": "= 0.13.5"
  }
}

@jrobison-sb Thank you for your proposal!

It's technically possible, but the current implementation heavily depends on the HCL native syntax. I probably won't prioritize this feature for the foreseeable future, but if someone implement this, I would be happy to review it.

Thanks!

As a workaround, a tool like json2hcl could be used to convert the json to hcl, then run tfupdate, and convert back using the dame tool
