Support Lightweight CA key replication with non-RSA host authority #1840

JSS only supports RSA key wrapping, therefore lightweight CA key replication will only work with RSA host authority.

We eventually need to support lightweight CA key replication with EC host authority. Some potential approaches:

Update JSS/NSS to support EC-based key wrapping.
Delegate key wrapping/unwrapping to an RSA key (presumably signed by the host authority).
Find a way to allow external processes to insert keys into the NSSDB without requiring Java process restart to see the new keys, i.e. avoid the key wrapping scheme altogether.
