Outdated Terraform Dependency and Potential Transition to OpenTofu

Hi,

While debugging Terraformer for #1932, I noticed that it uses an outdated version of hashicorp/terraform. The current version in use, hashicorp/[email protected], includes explicit references to version 0.12.31 in its gRPC communications:

• https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/ff2f9bef36189b28f5e3a91dd6cdb39c2ffdcbe0/plugin/grpc_provider.go#L288-L295
• https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/ff2f9bef36189b28f5e3a91dd6cdb39c2ffdcbe0/version/version.go#L14

I attempted to upgrade the hashicorp/terraform dependency, but it seems that hashicorp/terraform no longer supports imports from other modules, as discussed here:

• get error when using go get command hashicorp/terraform#35695 (comment)

Although I am not deeply familiar with the internal workings of Terraform, it seems that Terraformer may need to transition to OpenTofu in order to maintain its functionality going forward.
