This module is intended to be used in a Packer template to move all files that template
copies into /tmp/packer-files/XXX/YYY into /XXX/YYY. For example, if you used the file provisioner to upload a
file to /tmp/packer-files/foo/bar, it will be moved to /foo/bar.
Why not just upload these files directly with Packer? Because:
If the destination folder doesn't exist, the file provisioner won't create it. Instead, you just get an error.
The file provisioner may not have permissions to write to certain folders (e.g. /opt/my-app) and it can't use
sudo.
As a result, using the file provisioner is often a multi-step process where you first copy the files to a temporary
folder, then run scripts to create the real destination folder, move your files there, and update permissions. This
packer-file-copy module automates all these steps.
