Triton locality attribute - allow self referencing

[pannon]

Hi,

I am trying to provision instances in Triton with a locality far away from each other.
For instance in the example below, each machine created through a module called affinity-test should land far away from each other (spread across different compute nodes):
locality = { far_from = ["${triton_machine.affinity-test.id}"] }

(I believe this is a common use case, same machine types (services) spread out far away from each other.)

Trying to do this, results in the following error:
* module.affinity-test.triton_machine.affinity-test[0]: module.affinity-test.triton_machine.affinity-test[0]: self reference not allowed: "triton_machine.affinity-test.id"

In this instance it would be quite beneficial to allow self referencing. The locality flag expects machine UUID's which are only generated after the machine itself is provisioned anyway.

In other words the UUID of the current machine will not be in the list as that is only generated after the machine is provisioned.

Not sure if there is some other ways to achieve this kind of provisioning through the Triton provider - if yes I would be interested to hear some suggestions.

Thanks
P
