Backport of Cloud, backend/remote: forward -minimal-refresh to HCPT and TFE into v1.17

Backport

This PR is auto-generated from #39310 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label 1.17-backport.

The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.

Forwards the -minimal-refresh planning option to HCP Terraform / Terraform Enterprise through the cloud block and the legacy remote backend.

Core already supports -minimal-refresh locally, but remote operations reject it with a temporary "Minimal refresh mode is currently not supported" error, because HCP Terraform and go-tfe didn't support it yet. HCP Terraform's Runs API now accepts a minimal-refresh run attribute, and go-tfe v1.112.0 exposes it (hashicorp/go-tfe#1502).

Changes Made

• go-tfe: bumps github.com/hashicorp/go-tfe from v1.110.0 to v1.112.0
• Forwarding (cloud and remote): sets MinimalRefresh = true on the run create options only when -minimal-refresh is requested. It stays nil otherwise, so ordinary runs never send the attribute and older servers see no change.
• Server capability check: replaces the temporary rejection with a check on the server's TFP-API-Version, following the existing -target / -replace / -refresh-only pattern in the remote backend. If the version is below MinimalRefreshMinAPIVersion (2.7) or can't be parsed, Terraform returns an error before any run is created:

  The host does not support the -minimal-refresh option. If you use Terraform Enterprise, upgrade to a version that supports minimal refresh. Otherwise, run without -minimal-refresh.

Older servers silently drop unknown run attributes, so without this check a run on an older server would quietly do a full refresh.

Tests

Manual testing

Terraform built from this branch against a local HCP Terraform stack

API 2.6: plan -minimal-refresh and apply -minimal-refresh are rejected by Core before any run is created:

Error: Minimal refresh is not supported

The host <host> does not support the -minimal-refresh option. If you use
Terraform Enterprise, upgrade to a version that supports minimal refresh.
Otherwise, run without -minimal-refresh.

-minimal-refresh with -refresh=false or -refresh-only is still rejected by argument parsing and a plain plan works as before.

API 2.7:

Command	minimal-refresh	plan-only	Status
plan -minimal-refresh	true	true	planned_and_finished
apply -minimal-refresh	true	false	applied
plan	false	true	planned_and_finished

All runs had refresh: true, refresh-only: false. Atlas validation errors still reach the user.

Specs
New tests in internal/cloud/backend_minimal_refresh_test.go and internal/backend/remote/backend_minimal_refresh_test.go, using the mock client:

• plan/apply with -minimal-refresh → MinimalRefresh == true; without it → nil (not false)
• plan stays speculative, apply is applicable
• API version below the minimum, or unparseable → error, no run created
• API version at or above the minimum → forwarded

The mock runs client now records MinimalRefresh from the create options.

Manual testing against a local HCP Terraform stack: see below / to be added.

Follow-ups (not in this PR)

• Add the minimum Terraform Enterprise version to the docs once the TFE release is known.

Target Release

1.17.x

Rollback Plan

• If a change needs to be reverted, we will roll out an update to the code within 7 days.

This PR just enables the -minimal-refresh flag in HCPT, of which the feature has already been merged to v1.17 👍🏻
