  1. Add ProviderV2 a second version of Provider abstract class 

    This commit adds a new version of the abstract interface for the
Provider class, ProviderV2, to the providers interface. The only change
over the early ProviderV1 version of the interface is that the new class
enables attribute access to the Provider.backends attribute. This also
means that tab completion in jedi (or similar) environments will work.
Otherwise it's completely identical to ProvidersV1 (except for the
version)

ProviderV1 is not deprecated yet, because we need to wait for at least 3
release and 6 months per the version support policy. [1] Since the two
versions are fully compatible this isn't a large burden.
