If we provide a -state flag to a state command, we do not want terraform to modify the backend state. This test fails since the state specified in the backend doesn't exist
When using a `state` command, if the `-state` flag is provided we do not want to modify the Backend state. In this case we should always create a local state instance. The backup flag was also being ignored, and some tests were relying on that, which have been fixed.
There is only one backup made, contrary to the help text. We may want to implement that, but the documentation should match the current behavior.

The state commands were always loading a state from a Backend, and ignoring the
-stateflag.The docs for the
-backupflag also didn't match the current behavior, which was passing tests by accident. Update the docs to reflect that one and only one backup will be created, and reevaluate the multiple backup behavior later.Fixes #15359
