WIP: Vault PoC: Vault client and authentication

Tomasz Maczukin requested to merge vault-poc/vault-client-and-authentication into vault-poc/add-vault-library

What does this MR do?

Adds the configuration structures and mechanisms for authenticating against Vault server.

Why was this MR needed?

Vault, before giving access to secrets, requires a proper authentication. For the PoC we've chosen to implement three authentication methods supported by Vault:

  • token (the simplest)
  • userpass
  • TLS Authentication Certificates

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

⚠ Built on top of !1396 (closed) ⚠

After merging the base MR, remember about changing the target branch to master!

Only then resolve the wip status:

Does this MR meet the acceptance criteria?

  • Documentation created/updated
  • Added tests for this feature/bug
  • In case of conflicts with master - branch was rebased

What are the relevant issue numbers?
