Title:
  Support for the "bring your own keys" approach for Cinder

Status in Cinder:

Bug description:
  Description
  ===========
  Cinder currently lags support the API to create a volume with a predefined (e.g. already stored in Barbican) encryption key. This feature would be useful for use cases where end-users should be enabled to store keys later on used to encrypt volumes.

  Work flow would be as follow:
  1. End user creates a new key and stores it in OpenStack Barbican
  2. User requests a new volume with volume type "LUKS" and gives an "encryption_reference_key_id" (or just "key_id").
  3. Internally the key is copied (like in volume_utils.clone_encryption_key_()) and a new "encryption_key_id".
