Functions to resolve and call a Summon provider.

func Resolve(providerArg string) (string, error)

Searches for a provider in this order:

1. providerArg, passed in via CLI
2. environment variable SUMMON_PROVIDER
3. check for directory /usr/local/lib/summon (or %ProgramW6432%\Cyberark Conjur\Summon\Providers on Windows): if it exist, search providers there
4. if all of the above do not exist: use <path_to_summon_excutable>\Providers for searching providers (aka 'portable mode')

Attention: the provider search is limited to the first directory found according to the priority list above. That means, if the system directory exist the local directory will never be searched, even if the system directory is empty.

In order to migrate from system directory configuration to a local provider directory you need to move all providers to the local provider dir AND delete the system directory.

func Call(provider, specPath string) (string, error)

Given a provider and secret's namespace, runs the provider to resolve the secret's value.
