Introducing cf-secret - Secret encryption in CFEngine

Contributor and CFEngine Champion, Jon Henrik Bjørnstad, developed a tool for encrypting files using CFEngine host keys, called cf-keycrypt. Thank you to Jon Henrik and all of our contributors for helping improve the CFEngine project. Our developer, Vratislav Podzimek, recently took some time to review the cf-keycrypt code, and made many improvements and fixes. The most notable changes were: Switched to hybrid encryption (payload is encrypted with randomly generated AES key, AES key is encrypted with RSA key). Added file format, with HTTP-like headers for metadata Files can be encrypted for multiple hosts (host keys) Name changed to cf-secret cf-secret is now merged and will be a part of the upcoming 3.16 release.
