ibm_iam_trusted_profile_identity seems to have duplicate arguments

[ocofaigh]

Looking at the docs for ibm_iam_trusted_profile_identity there seems to be 2 args that are the same. Is this a bug?

• type - (Required, Forces new resource, String) Type of the identity.
  • Constraints: Allowable values are: user, serviceid, crn.
• identity_type - (Required, Forces new resource, String) Type of the identity.
  • Constraints: Allowable values are: user, serviceid, crn.

IAM team responded internally to say they are both required as per the documentation: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/iam-identity-token-api#set-profile-identity. The difference between them is that identity_type is a path parameter and type is a body parameter. They can't be different values, they need to be same.

With this in mind, I think the provider should be updated to just ask for a single arg, and then pass both args to the api call in the code. @Somchavan This will be a much better user experience for consumers of the provider. Can it be implemented?
