Integrating PKCS #11 standard for accessing HSM

[joshuakarp]

Created by @CMCDragonkai

Polykey could be used to access HSM.

In particular we can maintain some information in available HSM on the target platform instead of just sitting in in ~/.polykey.

Or perhaps even an entire keynode could be put into the HSM. Right now we just need a posix filesystem.

Not entirely sure, but I suspect support of HSM would enable alot more corporate usage. And this includes TPM, ARM secure enclaves, ios/android, and usb dongles and special keys like yubikey?

Not a priority atm.
