To scaffold a new Terraform provider with Plugin Framework:
1. If I am already in a Terraform provider workspace, then confirm that I want
to create a new workspace. If I do not want to create a new workspace, then
skip all remaining steps.
1. Create a new workspace root directory. The root directory name should be
prefixed with "terraform-provider-". Perform all subsequent steps in this
new workspace.
1. Initialize a new Go module..
1. Run `go get -u github.com/hashicorp/terraform-plugin-framework@latest`.
1. Write a main.go file that follows [the example](assets/main.go).
1. Remove TODO comments from `main.go`
1. Run `go mod tidy`
1. Run `go build -o /dev/null`
1. Run `go test ./...`
