This adds support for several key based crypto opterations but instead of using a key directly it uses a key ID. This avoids the need for ELL to ever hold a copy of the key assuming it already exists in the kernel. The motivation behind this is to enhance IWDs profile encryption. Currently this uses a systemd feature but ultimately the secret key is decrypted and put onto the file system for IWD to use. This isn't desirable and it would be better if the key never hits the FS, and even better if IWD never even sees it. This would allow some external, trusted, entity (e.g. PAM/systemd-logind) to set a secret key into the kernel upon user login (e.g. the users password). This key ID could then be used by IWD to encrypt profiles without ever seeing the actual key.
