Jan Lindemann 18de6f2cf2 cmds.CmdSecrets: Add command class + subcommands
jw-pkg.py secrets [sub-command] [packages] is a set of utility
commands designed to manage configuration files containing secrets.

To keep secrets from leaking via version control or packages, a
_template_ should be packaged for every sensitive configuration file.
Then, during post-install, configuration files can be generated from
packaged templates via

  jw-pkg.py secrets compile-templates <package> <package> ...

During post-uninstall

  jw-pkg.py secrets rm-compilation-output <package> <package> ...

removes them.

Not specifying any packages will compile or remove all templates on
the system.

To identify which files to consider and generate or remove, the
compilation scans <package> for files ending in .jw-tmpl. For each
match, e.g.

  /path/to/some.conf.jw-tmpl

it will read key-value pairs from

  /path/to/some.conf.jw-secret

and generate

  /path/to/some.conf

from it, replacing all keys by their respective values. The file
attributes of the generated file can be determined by the first line:
of some.conf.jw-tmpl or some.conf.jw-secret:

  # conf: owner=mysql; group=mysql; mode=0640

There are other commands for managing all secrets on the system at
once, see jw-pkg.py secrets --help:

    compile-templates   Compile package template files
    list-compilation-output
                        List package compilation output files
    list-secrets        List package secret files
    list-templates      List package template files
    rm-compilation-output
                        Remove package compilation output files
