The duplicate prompts can be confusing when the user confirms that a
migration should happen and we immediately prompt a second time for the
same thing with slightly different wording. The extra hand-holding that
this provides for legacy remote states is less critical now, since it's
been 2 major release cycles since those were removed.

Only check for input twice in the meta.confirm method. This prevents an
errant newline from aborting the run while allowing Terraform to exit if
there is no input available. We don't just check for a tty, since we
still rely on being able to pipe input in for testing.

Remove the redundant confirmation loops in the migration code, and only
use the confirm method.

There were two tests that had the duplicate confirmations hard-coded in
the input stream.
Make sure the init inputFalse test actually errors from missing input,
since skipping input will still fail later during provider
initialization. We need to make sure there are two different states that
aren't a noop for migration, and reset the command struct for each run.

Also verify that we don't go into an infinite loop if there is no input.

Terraform can copy the existing state in your legacy remote state
backend to your newly configured backend. Please answer "yes" or "no".

I think "Terraform detected that the..." would be clearer here. On first read my mental parser was confused by trying to read it as "Terraform detected the backend type".

The existing prompts were worded as if backend configurations were
named, but they can only really be referenced by their type. Change the
wording to reference them as type "X backend". When migrating state,
refer to the backends as the "previously configured" and "newly
configured", since they will often have the same type.
