Description

@zliang-akamai

Use cases

There are some useful utility provider like null and http, which might be used in the acceptance tests of the another provider.

Attempted solutions

Importing those providers as Go packages and placing them into the provider factory. This doesn't work well because many providers doesn't follow Golang's package standard.

See this example: hashicorp/terraform-provider-http#428

Proposal

Maybe we can have a new field on Test struct to allow setup of other providers?
