Secrets management

[mickmcgrath13]

• Examples in docs (before scritps, etc)
• external secrets manager support (vault, etc) - pluggable if possible
• encrypt in place patterns (helm secrets, sops, etc)

@mickmcgrath13 isn't all that solved by bash already?

Anisble support implemented in: https://github.com/bitovi/bitops/pull/68

@frank-dspeed Bash allows you to do all of these things, yes. The purpose of this ticket is:

1. what (if any) secrets management do we want to provide OOTB with bitops
2. how to leverage bash scripts within the context of BitOps (i.e. before/after hooks)

thanks @dylan-bitovi ! Please add a link to your secrets management blog post into this ticket once it's public, too

Remaining tasks for this is to add the generic secrets management pattern to the docs.

We can add support for specific secrets management tools (like vault) as the need(s) arise.
