As a complement to the "required providers" rule, this adds a rule that detects unused required providers. This ends up being slightly more complicated in the wild, since technically it's valid to put all your provider requirements in the root module, but it means
terraform init
may not work in child modules.In theory this rule could also walk down the module tree looking for provider use, but I haven't implemented that here. This rule is disabled by default and users who specify required providers directly in each module can just turn it on.
