Enhance IAM User flow to be able to detect and resent activation emails about terraform-provider-hsdp HOT 4 CLOSED

Terraform automatically took care of these vanishing users before, but yes, now we will have to modify the logic to re-trigger. There is actually already some re-trigger logic in there which should als be revisited due to the new behaviour. I'll do a first scan of the code and report back possible solutions.

Instead of modifying the hsdp_iam_user resource the idea in #131 is to define a new data source which allows us to find all unactivated users. We then use this list to dynamically generate hsdp_iam_activation_email resources which represent the state of the user activation. Once a user has activated, the resource is automatically destroyed on the next run as the account will no longer show up in the data source.

Terraform simply needs to run every couple of hours, depending on the resend_every setting

This is a generic mechanism as users accounts don't even need to be managed by Terraform perse.
As long as they match the filter criteria they will become eligible for email activation emails (and resends).

Looks like an even better idea. This way this can also be used outside user creation in case need be, and the can help a lot of existing use case where terraform was not used.

Implemented in v0.23.1
