Atomicity / commits

A begin/end type block that ensures all things inside are completed without error. If any error is returned, then the resource is marked as tainted by core.

Ex: VPC security groups revoke the default rule as part of the create step. If for some reason they fail to revoke it, the rule stays, but it's not shown to the user b/c rules are optional and wouldn't show in a diff.

From what I recall these are the providers which may benefit from this:

• Palo Alto Networks (their whole API is designed around the idea of "committing changes")
• Akamai (implements the idea of "careful" phased rollout of changes to the CDN configuration)
• Fastly (similar to Akamai)
