Change subject: packaging: Use engine.p12 for HTTPS connector
......................................................................


Patch Set 2:

> I don't see any need to have additional key pairs when we already have the 
> engine key pair.

A key should be used either to decrypt or to sign, having a key to do both 
weaken the key.

Engine key is used to authenticate to vdsm (sign).

Web server key is used to wrap keys (decrypt).

Splitting these keys was required:

1. because the reason above.

2. to allow to modify web to 3rd party certificate authority without effecting 
authentication to vdsm and enrollment to new hosts.

Having one more key for jboss will not make anything more complex, but will 
more clear for the user, so he will be able to know what is used by what 
component.
