For non-geodesic users, allow `command` templates or auto search for popular directory formats

Describe the Feature

Currently we can use hard coded values

components:
  abc:
    command: "/bin/terraform-1"

This works if you're using geodesic or nix or similar but it doesn't work if devs want to use native binaries.

The native binaries may be installed via asdf or tfenv or tfswitch.

• asdf /Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/{version}/bin/terraform
• tfenv /home/user/.tfenv/versions/{version}/terraform
• tfswitch /home/user/.terraform.versions/terraform_{version}

Expected Behavior

An improved templating system

Use Case

Allow using asdf, tfsec, tfenv or any terraform version manager by supplying command templates. This also removes hard coding binaries in the yaml leaving only the input that matters which is the version.

Describe Ideal Solution

It would be nice in atmos.yaml to allow adding formats to check for

terraform:
  command_templates:
    - "/Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/{version}/bin/terraform"
    - "/home/user/.tfenv/versions/{version}/terraform"
    - "/home/user/.terraform.versions/terraform_{version}"

then for components, we can use something like this

components:
  abc:
    # should resolve to latest binary installed locally if available
    # e.g. `/Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/1.6.2/bin/terraform`
    command_version: "1"
    # should resolve to latest binary installed locally if available
    # e.g. `/Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/1.5.7/bin/terraform`
    command_version: "1.5"
    # should resolve to exact binary installed locally if available
    # e.g. `/Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/1.6.2/bin/terraform`
    command_version: "1.6.2"

@nitrocode why not just write:

components:
  abc:
    command: "terraform"

Then it should use your search path, and be compatible with tools like asdf

[nitrocode]

The way asdf works is by auto switching to the tool version using a direnv-like .tool-versions file within a directory.

This file can be added in the components/terraform/abc/.tool-versions by doing the following

asdf plugin add terraform
asdf install terraform 1.2.3
cd components/terraform/abc
asdf local terraform 1.2.3

✗ cat .tool-versions
terraform 1.2.3

But then you have an issue if you have multiple instantiations of abc that use different terraform versions.

components:
  abc:
    command: "terraform"

components:
  abc/legacy:
    command: "terraform0.12"

Today, we can do explicitly set these but then it's only compatible with a single tool asdf or tfenv or tfswitch due to the path structure.

components:
  abc:
    command: /Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/1.6.2/bin/terraform

components:
  abc/legacy:
    command: /Users/user/.asdf/installs/terraform/0.12.5/bin/terraform
