[kolla-ansible] External Ceph keyring encryption

Hi all,

My understanding is that KA has dropped support for provisioning Ceph directly, and now requires an external Ceph cluster (side note: we should update the docs[1], which state it is only "sometimes necessary" to use an external cluster--I will try to submit something today).

I think this works well, but the handling of keyrings cuts a bit against the grain of KA. The keyring files must be dropped in to the node_custom_config directory. This means that operators who prefer to keep their KA configuration in source control must have some mechanism for securing that, as it is unencrypted. What does everybody think about storing Ceph keyring secrets in passwords.yml instead, similar to how SSH keys are handled?

Thanks,
/Jason
