Problem: Opentofu workspaces not supported with backend http

[Khaz66]

Issue

I tried to launch my opentofu code with semaphore UI. In my organization, we use our own git to store the tf.state so we use a backend http.

When i launch the task i have a message :

It seems that the backend http doesn't support workspaces. Would it be possible to make the use of a workspace optionnal ?

I made a fix here in this PR. I'm using my branch right now in my own environment.

I've been having the same error when trying to use terraform remote state (HCP backend) since it uses a custom workspace I would think.

@zancres please try my image that I linked above, it have my fix in it and works good for me both at home and at the company I'm working for at the moment

@fiftin Please tell me are there any chances to fix this bug soon? The change proposed by @jriberg looks reasonable, maybe there could also be an option not to choose workspace at all, in the job definition. Best regards.

The PR solves one problem and create another.

The ability to turn off workspaces looks not very good for me.

I think we need to check if workspaces works for a repo.

[salustre]

I believe there's still no support for workspaces, when using the http backend.

Some workaround should be implemented for sure, because in the current state the opentofu/terraform functionality i pretty much useless for http backend users.
