Expected Behavior

When terraform is forcefully aborted (Ctrl-C twice), the lock should not be acquired if not acquired yet, and should be released if already acquired.

I'm not sure if this is a core or azurerm provider issue, feels like core to me.

Actual Behavior

The lock is acquired and not released, so force-unlock must be executed afterwards.

Steps to Reproduce

1. terraform init -backend-vars backend.tfvars (you need variables for Azure backend)
2. terraform apply
3. Ctrl-C twice
