James Gibson ad8bda5f64 Enable TLS for live migrations
Instead of using SSH to live migrate VM's use TLS as this is more
secure and SSH migrations are deprecated.
https://docs.openstack.org/nova/xena/admin/secure-live-migration-with-qemu-native-tls.html
A pre-existing PKI (Public Key Infrastruture) setup is required.

TLS live migrations require that all compute hosts can communcate
with each other on port 16514 and port range 49152 to 49261.

To enable TLS live migrations, both libvirt and QEMU require server
and client certificates, the server certicicates is used to verify
servers and the client cert is used by servers to authenticate
clients. A single cert is created by the pki role, that can be
used by both libvirt and QEMU for both client and server auth.

The client, server and CA certifcates need to installed in a
number of locations on each compute host:
* For Libvirt https://libvirt.org/tlscerts.html
* For QEMU https://github.com/libvirt/libvirt/blob/master/src/qemu/qemu.conf

Nova now defaults to to using the "QEMU-native TLS" feature
for live migrations, rather than the deprecated SSH method.
A pre-existing PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) setup is
required.
QEMU-native TLS requires all compute hosts to accept TCP connections on
port 16514 and port range 49152 to 49261.
