The gen_tfvars playbook was failing with an undefined variable when the user forgot to run the new "make cloud-config" step. Add a helpful error message. Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>
Add comprehensive support for OpenTofu as an alternative to Terraform for infrastructure provisioning. OpenTofu is an open-source fork of Terraform maintained by the Linux Foundation that provides full compatibility with Terraform configurations while offering a community-driven development model. The implementation adds a Kconfig choice between Terraform and OpenTofu with automatic binary path configuration. The install_terraform role now handles installation of either tool based on user selection, downloading from appropriate sources. All Ansible tasks using the cloud.terraform.terraform and terraform_output modules now use the binary_path parameter to invoke the correct tool. Users can select their preferred tool via menuconfig and the system handles all necessary configuration automatically through extra_vars.yaml. Default versions are Terraform 1.2.3 and OpenTofu 1.6.0, both configurable via Ansible variables. Generated-by: Claude AI Signed-off-by: Chuck Lever <chuck.lever@oracle.com>

terraform is becoming more and more proprietary. We'd like to keep kdevops based on as much open source code as is practically. Fortunately, there is an open source alternative to terraform: OpenTofu. Add a Kconfig setting that allows users to select the use of either terraform or opentofu to handle cloud provisioning. For now the default remains "use terraform".
