Add local_directory data source and resource

[trois-six]

This change would create the local_directory data source and resource.
This permits to create local directories with specified directory permissions.

I need this functionality too. Any idea when this is going to be reviewed ?

[invidian]

It would be great if this could also support source property and allow copying directories locally.

Currently in Terraform file provisioner allows copying directories, but only using ssh. Local copy is not possible.

I'd also like to use that. Any plans of merging this? @appilon
