Expected Behavior

I would expect a handled error message or a successful run when I run terraform init and the configuration files has a provider_meta with an underline (_), or a dot (.) within a string.

Actual Behavior

Currently, if you update the above's code to provider_meta "google-beta-typooooooo" and run a terraform init, it will return Terraform has been successfully initialized!. A successful run.

But a simple typo, provider_meta "google_beta" instead of provider_meta "google-beta" will cause a terraform crash error, and it won't be clear to users why this crash is happening. In a large codebase it can be hard to figure it out why this crash is happening.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init
