Separate the remote configuration from the state

[rawkode]

I would love to see the state and configuration separated, to allow for multiple people managing infrastructure with an S3 backend:

Using .gitignore to block .tfstate and adding .tfconfig with Terraform always pulling the remote state prior to an operation would provide much better collaborative experience.

# .tfconfig
{
    "version": 1,
    "serial": 1,
    "remote": {
        "type": "s3",
        "config": {
            "bucket": "bucket-name",
            "key": "platform"
        }
    }
}

#1964 is relevant here, I believe

It is - thanks for pointing that out. My searching skills failed me!
