Title:
  vault: add support for AppRole authentication

Status in castellan:
  In Progress
Status in barbican package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in python-castellan package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Vault provides a nice way for applications to integrate with its API:

    https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/approle.html

  
  As the authentication method has two components (role_id and secret_id) is easy to automate distribution of credentials by providing the role_id but response wrapping the secret_id with access via a one shot, IP address restricted token.

  It would be nice is castellan and barbican supported this approach.
