Fix python version compatibility and other fixes

[rmaynardap]

After merging from upstream we identified several issues with the changes over the last week:

1. The .tfvars file needs to be named .auto.tfvars to be properly picked up
2. The pyproject.toml still indicated python 3.10 was compatible, it is not, bumped to 3.11
3. Some of the f-strings use double quotes inside, which works in 3.12 but not 3.11, fixed them to be usable in 3.11
4. Using -lockfile=readonly really cleans up the output, but currently isn't reliable enough; submodules need to be pulled and checked too prior to terraform init, this can probably be done with the terraform get command
5. When checking for versions, symlinks were not being followed and they should be since TF will follow them, the behavior needs to be the same
6. A partial mirror, where "includes" was specified did not work because a list of providers was being passed instead of a list of strings matching the provider tag, this is fixed
