**New Resource:** azurerm_subscription

[jackofallops]

This PR introduces a new resource to manage Subscriptions using the new SubscriptionAlias API.

Note: Creating Subscriptions requires a high level of access to the Azure Billing account in which the Subscription is being created/managed. The level of access is dependent on the account type with Azure (e.g. Enterprise Account, MCA, or Partner Account).

Note: Using this resource will create a Subscription Alias meta resource. Azure allows multiple Aliases per subscription, however, for Terraform to correctly manage this the Provider limits this to a 1:1 relationship. The Alias Meta resource has been introduced to give a common interface for creating Subscriptions across the various account types.

Warning: Destroying an azurerm_subscription resource will deactivate/cancel your subscription, including all resources contained within, through this resource. See here for what happens when this occurs.

Subscriptions containing resources not managed by Terraform will prevent that Subscription from being deleted/destroyed and return an error.
Error: autorest/azure: Service returned an error. Status=400 Code="ResourcesExistingOnSubscription" Message="There are existing resources associated with subscription. Delete them before cancelling the subscription"

closes #1216

hey @jackofallops

On the whole this looks pretty good - I've taken a look through and left some comments inline, but if we can fix those up then this should be otherwise good to go 👍

Thanks!

Taking a look through on the whole this looks pretty good - but we should update this to use the ID's of these items rather than the Name's, since there's different scopes/options for Billings Accounts etc, which'd help us differentiate these in the future

hey @jackofallops

Thanks for pushing those changes - I've left some more comments inline but this otherwise LGTM 👍
