Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oslo/+spec/pw-keyrings.

Description:

Instead of having config files with passwords/users in them (which is bad) there should be some integration with the standard keyring providers in various operating systems, this python project @ http://pypi.python.org/pypi/keyring seems to provide some of this. It seems like openstack common should provide a little helper class to allow config to use that, for sections of config that need to be "secure", ie for a start, users and passwords should not be in clear-text (at least the passwords for stage 0).
