Adds an optional "tier" field to the replicas map (default unset, in which case the primary's var.tier is used via coalesce). This lets users size read replicas independently of the primary - useful for cost optimisation when replicas serve lighter analytics workloads, or for validating a bigger/smaller machine type on a replica before resizing the primary. Made-with: Cursor

What
Adds an optional
tierfield to the per-replica object invar.replicas:and uses it on
google_sql_database_instance.replicas:Why
Cloud SQL allows a read replica to have a different machine tier from its primary, and this is genuinely useful:
Today the module hardcodes every replica to
var.tier, so the only workaround is to manage replicas outside the module.Compatibility
optional(string), so existing callers that passreplicas = { ... }without atierkey are unaffected:coalesce(null, var.tier)returnsvar.tier, which is exactly today's behaviour.Does not conflict with the sibling retain-backups change (#27) — that one touches
var.tier-adjacentvariables.tfonly to add a separate variable and edits thesettings {}block to wire it in; this PR's onlymain.tfchange is thetier = coalesce(...)line, and its onlyvariables.tfchange is thereplicastype/description.
