Guide to build an up-to-date Terraform images and templates project for our users

Timo Furrer requested to merge guide-mirror-up-to-date-terraform into master

This change set radically changes this repository and its purpose.

With the deprecation and eventual removal of the Terraform CI/CD templates and the terraform-images project, this repository won't receive any updates.

However, we want to assist GitLab users who want to build their own terraform-images-like project and who want to use the Terraform CI/CD templates. We can do this by providing a guide for them how to build the assets required to do so. A minimal effort way is if they can just "clone & own" or mirror a repository and let it build "something". That's basically what this repository provides.

I've also removed most of the files that will be unnecessary for the user to build their own Terraform templates and images. I wouldn't want them to inherit auxiliary tools that we've used, but they wouldn't care about. If they want to fork this and improve it with their tooling, they can do so.

I recommend that you'll review this MR by "previewing" the new repository contents here: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/terraform-images/-/tree/guide-mirror-up-to-date-terraform
