Fixes #8044
This introduces a more resilient check when parsing variable values as HCL for determining if they were really HCL or not. Before, we simply checked error message (I kept this around although it may no longer be necessary). Now, I check for certain starting symbols ignoring whitespace:
[
- List{
- Map"
- StringIf it DOESN'T have one of those, we return as-is.
Existing tests pass. I want to double check with @jen20 if this is enough.
