feat: add the option to debug the coder terraform provider (#378)

SasSwart · web-flow · commit 53a68cd74963 · 2025-04-10T11:52:25.000+02:00
Setting the debug flag runs the provider as a standalone process and provides an environment variable that can be set for Terraform to use it. One can then attach a debugger to the provider process.
