James Gibson 2b8d5a0b88 Enable TLS for VNC from novncproxy to compute hosts
To secure communications from the proxy server to the compute
nodes using VeNCrypt authentication scheme.

In a previous patch a TLS server certificate was deployed to
compute nodes, this patch makes use of this same server cert for
securing VNC sessions on compute nodes. It is recommended that
this certificate be issued by a dedicated certificate authority
solely for the VNC service, as libvirt does not currently have a
mechanism to restrict what certificates can be presented by the
proxy server. This has not been implemented to reduce complexity.

In addition the noVNC proxy needs to present a client certificate
so only approved VNC proxy servers can connect to the Compute nodes.
The PKI role has been used to create a client certificate for the
nova console nodes.

To help with the transition from from unencrypted VNC to VeNCrypt,
initially compute nodes auth scheme allows for both encrypted and
unencrypted sessions using the variable `nova_vencrypt_auth_scheme`, this
will be removed in future releases.
