talos_machine_configuration_apply apply_mode="try" is not supported

[mulder999]

According to talosctl apply-config and talosctl patch, the following apply mode are possible: -m, --mode auto, interactive, no-reboot, reboot, staged, try apply config mode (default auto)

However the terraform resource talos_machine_configuration_apply does not support try (not supporting interactive is indeed normal):
Attribute apply_mode value must be one of: ["auto" "reboot" "no_reboot" "staged"], got: "try"

This is intentional, try mode doesn't seem to offer any value with TF, the machine never has the expected machine config, but the old one and TF will say it's synced

This mode is not intended for long-term use, but it can be helpful when testing potentially critical changes. You might switch to this mode temporarily to try out the changes, and once you confirm they are working as expected, you can apply them again in the default auto mode.
