[BUG]: 'plaintext_value' forces delete and create instead of inplace update

[zilinjak]

Expected Behavior

When changing 'plaintext_value' we want to replace the value inplace, as we can do in github UI. The problem is that when we are changing a lot of secrets this leads to significant downtime - 5-10 minutes, because we can see something like

github_actions_environment_secret.AZURE_SP_PASS: Still creating... [1m20s elapsed]

Actual Behavior

The force replace firstly deletes the value and then creates it which leads to secret downtime. I think it would be better to update the value INPLACE
