Use generics for providers API
Using generics for the providers API allows a type to be associated with a ProviderKey, resulting in a type-safe API without that doesn't require runtime type assertions by every caller. Unfortunately, Go does not allow generic types in methods, only in functions [1]. This prevents a type-safe API on ModuleContext, and requires moving the API to be functions that take a ModuleContext as a parameter. This CL creates the new API, but doesn't convert all of the callers.
