There is no fixed-key back end with Castellan. I agree that using a
fixed key makes for very easy testing, but the tests use a
configuration (ConfKeyManager) that should not be used in deployment.
The tests could be made much more useful if they used a more realistic
configuration (Barbican).

Adding a gate that tests using DevStack with Barbican enabled would
be a more valuable than the existing tests for two reasons:

 1. ConfKeyManager could be removed.
 2. It would test the feature configured more closely to how a
    deployment would actually look.

As part of this change to deprecate ConfKeyManager and integrate
Castellan, I would like to add this new gate.
