## 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
While working on #1273, I found that calls to `Append` on a
`dyn.Pattern` were mutating the original slice. This is expected because
appending to a slice will mutate in place if the capacity of the
original slice is large enough. This change updates the `Append` call on
the `dyn.Path` as well to return a newly allocated slice to avoid
inadvertently mutating the originals.
We have existing call sites in the `dyn` package that mutate a
`dyn.Path` (e.g. walk or visit) and these are modified to continue to do
this with a direct call to `append`. Callbacks that use the `dyn.Path`
argument outside of the callback need to make a copy to ensure it isn't
mutated (this is no different from existing semantics).
The `Join` function wasn't used and is removed as part of this change.
## Tests
Unit tests.
## Changes
This change addresses the path resolution behavior in resource
definitions. Previously, all paths were resolved relative to where the
resource was first defined, which could lead to confusion and errors
when paths were specified in different directories. The new behavior is
to resolve paths relative to where they are defined, making it more
intuitive.
However, to avoid breaking existing configurations, compatibility with
the old behavior is maintained.
## Tests
* Existing unit tests for path translation pass.
* Additional test to cover both the nominal and the fallback behavior.
## Changes
The new `dyn.Pattern` type represents a path pattern that can match one
or more paths in a configuration tree. Every `dyn.Path` can be converted
to a `dyn.Pattern` that matches only a single path.
To accommodate this change, the visit function needed to be modified to
take a `dyn.Pattern` suffix. Every component in the pattern implements
an interface to work with the visit function. This function can recurse
on the visit function for one or more elements of the value being
visited. For patterns derived from a `dyn.Path`, it will work as it did
before and select the matching element. For the new pattern components
(e.g. `dyn.AnyKey` or `dyn.AnyIndex`), it recurses on all the elements
in the container.
## Tests
Unit tests. Confirmed full coverage for the new code.
