random_string and random_password require checks on length

[bendbennett]

Terraform CLI and Provider Versions

Terraform v1.1.8
terraform-provider-random v3.1.2

Use Cases or Problem Statement

If length used with random_string or random_password is less than 1 this gives rise to the following problems:

length < 0

If length is < 0 then the provider panics:

• terraform-provider-random_v3.1.0_x5 plugin crashed! #181
• Handle string length being less than the sum of the min character values #200
• Terraform vague error message on length=-1 for random_string resource #129

length == 0

If length == 0 the provider generates a somewhat ambiguous error message:

• random_string crashing when length is zero #222

Proposal

Add checks to ensure that length is > 0.
