Scaffold a new Terraform provider using the Plugin Framework.

Generates a new Go module workspace with the standard "terraform-provider-" naming convention and initializes required dependencies

Provides a template main.go file following HashiCorp's Plugin Framework patterns, with TODO markers for customization

Validates the setup by running build and test commands to ensure the provider compiles and passes initial checks

Handles workspace management by confirming intent before creating a new provider directory if already in an existing Terraform provider workspace

Remove TODO comments from main.go
