Barbican secret deletion support

Registered by Brian Rosmaita

The Block Storage Service (Cinder) offers end users the ability to create images from encrypted volume types. When it does this, Cinder stores a secret in Barbican in a 1-1 relation to the image and puts the Barbican ID of the secret as an image property,
 `cinder_encryption_key_id``. When a user deletes such an image, the Barbican secret is no longer applicable to any resource, but it persists in Barbican. As a result, deployers have a situation where useless secrets are piling up in Barbican. This would be mitigated if Glance deleted the unique Barbican secret of an image at the time of image deletion.
