Ade Lee 6ded070b51 Add support for ecdsa keys
In FIPS mode, using RSA keys for ssh is fine as long as SHA-1 is
not used for the signature algorithm.  Unfortunately, the version
of cirros used in OpenStack CI does not have a version of dropbear
that supports SHA-2 signatures.  So, any connections from a FIPS
enabled machine will fail as the cirros instance will only support
ssh-rsa (SHA-1 signatures).

To get around this, we add a new option to specify the key type
(validation.ssh_key_type).  This will allow the addition of other
key types in future if needed.

Tempest now supports 'rsa' and 'ecdsa' key types.

We also add a fips job to the experimental queue to test the usage
of the new key type.

Add parameter to specify the SSH key type. Current options are 'rsa'
(which is the default) and 'ecdsa'. Tempest now supports the importing
and generation of both 'rsa' and 'ecdsa' SSH key types.
