Please add a way to pull the API key from a locals value

[qops1981]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When we run our terraform for Refinery, we have multiple environments. Each environment has it's own corresponding API key for Honeycomb. Every time I change the environment I would need to re-export the API key to match. If I use a tfvars file I need to call it in the commands in addition to switching the environment. This could also be confusing as I could not guarantee other callers would call the right tfvars file in combination with the correct environment.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to pass the value to the Module as a module variable. This feels more direct to what the modules needs. Additionally; I can then store the API keys in a local file ( not committed to the repo via .gitignore ) and pull the value I need like so:

jsondecode(file("${path.module}/.honeycomb.keys.json"))[terraform.workspace]

This would limit the complexity down to the creation of 1 json file with associated keys and the need to select the terraform environment. Subsequent runs would only then require the terraform environment selection.

Actually, if I could provide this value to the module I could also use an AWS secret

@qops1981 I've seen this request from a couple of sources. I've got some revisions in the pipeline for this starter pack to make some improvements. I'll see if I can't figure a good way to do this as well. Might be a couple/few weeks out yet, but I'll make sure this is on the list for my work.
