Alishan Ladhani requested to merge ali/tf-state-encryption into master

What does this MR do?

As part of #207401 (closed), add the lockbox gem to help with encryption/decryption of terraform state files.

A POC of how it will be used can be found in !26116 (closed).

Some details about lockbox:

  • does not depend on any other gems
  • uses the AES-GCM algorithm by default
  • uses OpenSSL to perform cryptography
  • comes with CarrierWave support (encrypt files by adding a single line to an Uploader)
  • uses a different key for each database field and file uploader (derived from the master key)
