Native integration with Secrets management systems

I would like to be able to use hashicorp vault with the chef-client to read secrets natively. Currently, there is not a good method to read secrets easily and this is a common use case.

    We're building this with an initial beta for aws secrets manager shipping in Chef Infra Client 17.3 to be followed up by Azure then Hashi/Akeyless. There will also be more work to have configuration sets for the secrets and caching.

    I get asked about this a lot. I have working code for Azure (no external deps) and AWS (currently requires aws gem, but could easily be rewritten without external deps)
