// NormalizeObjectFromLegacySDK takes an object that may have been generated by
// the legacy Terraform SDK (i.e. returned from a provider with the
// LegacyTypeSystem opt-out set) and does its best to normalize it for the
// assumptions we would normally enforce if the provider had not opted out.
//
// In particular, this function guarantees that a value representing a nested
// block will never itself be unknown or null, instead representing that as a
// non-null value that may contain null/unknown values.
//
// The input value must still conform to the implied type of the given schema,
// or else this function may produce garbage results or panic. This is usually
// okay because type consistency is enforced when deserializing the value
// returned from the provider over the RPC wire protocol anyway.
//
// This is clearly incompatible with computed blocks in protocol v6, so must not
// be called for anything using features from v6 or greater.
