write configuration to the file, we are right now only can apply data source to the local file

This would be an additional use case for the provider.

The use case here is that you enable users to use Terraform to create a partial config. Ideally, then could then take that output partial config and import it into PAN-OS.

Terraform uses goroutines to do it's work, so this means we'd probably need to lean on something like sync.Mutex such that multiple threads weren't corrupting the contents of the file with simultaneous writes.

The new pango already has support for "local inspection mode", so tunneling the reads through that while tunneling the writes to the local file system.
