Parse Tree to HCL2 reconstruction

With version 5.0.0 the possibility of HCL2 reconstruction from Lark Parse Tree was introduced.

Example of manipulating Lark Parse Tree and reconstructing it back into valid HCL2 can be found in tree-to-hcl2-reconstruction.md file.

More details about reconstruction implementation can be found in this PR.

Building From Source

For development, tox>=4.0.9 is recommended.

Running Tests

python-hcl2 uses tox. You will need to install tox with pip install tox. Running tox will automatically execute linters as well as the unit tests.

You can also run them individually with the -e argument.

For example, tox -e py37-unit will run the unit tests for python 3.7

To see all the available options, run tox -l.

Releasing
