…hen using `ExternalProviders` outside the `hashicorp` namespace
By default, Terraform CLI will use the `registry.terraform.io` hostname and `hashicorp` namespace for provider addresses if there is not a `terraform` configuration block with an explicit configuration. Previously, the testing framework would automatically generate a temporary configuration with the `terraform` configuration block for running `terraform init`, but it did not include this extra configuration along with a given `TestStep` `Config`. When working with `hashicorp` namespace providers, this isn't an issue because of the Terraform CLI defaults.
External provider developers could manually workaround this issue by including the `terraform` configuration block as part of their `TestStep` `Config`, however this is certainly confusing and error prone.
