## Changes
This PR also fixes empty values variable overrides using the --var flag.
Now, using `--var="my_variable="` will set the value of `my_variable` to
the empty string instead of ignoring the flag altogether.
## Tests
The change using a unit test. Manually verified the `--var` flag works
now.
## Changes
Before this change maps were stored as a regular Go map with string
keys. This didn't let us capture metadata (location information) for map
keys.
To address this, this change replaces the use of the regular Go map with
a dedicated type for a dynamic map. This type stores the `dyn.Value` for
both the key and the value. It uses a map to still allow O(1) lookups
and redirects those into a slice.
## Tests
* All existing unit tests pass (some with minor modifications due to
interface change).
* Equality assertions with `assert.Equal` no longer worked because the
new `dyn.Mapping` persists the order in which keys are set and is
therefore susceptible to map ordering issues. To fix this, I added a
`dynassert` package that forwards all assertions to `testify/assert` but
intercepts equality for `dyn.Value` arguments.
## Changes
In the dynamic configuration, the nil value (dyn.NilValue) denotes a
value that should not be serialized, ie a value being nil is the same as
it not existing in the first place.
This is not true for zero values in maps and slices. This PR fixes the
conversion from typed values to dyn.Value, to treat zero values in maps
and slices as zero and not nil.
## Tests
Unit tests
## Changes
The name "dynamic value", or "dyn" for short, is more descriptive than
the opaque "config". Also, it conveniently does not alias with other
packages in the repository, or (popular ones) elsewhere.
