Support for external certificate keys in the agent

[Bryan Kearney]

Attached is a patch off of the 2.6 branch. It adds support for the the
agent having the certificates and keys managed externally to the puppet
system.

This is done with a new terminus, named "External". This new terminus
makes use of the current settings hostprivkey and hostpubkey. To
activate the new terminus, the setting:

key_terminus = external

should be set. This new setting defaults to file, so there are minimal
code changes to the existing process paths.

I have not made much use of the SSL layer, so any comments on this patch
are appreciated.

Updated the patch based on RC2. Would this be worthwhile in the 0.25.X
branch as well?

Bryan, sorry this patch has gone unnoticed so long. Would you mind
opening a ticket and attaching this patch to it, preferably as a
github branch? It's easier for us to prioritize patches attached to
tickets.

Here's some info on the process of contributing patches in a way that
makes it easier for us to review.

Thanks
