Bug description:
  [Impact]
  This SRU corresponds with the following story for upstream barbican
  https://storyboard.openstack.org/#!/story/2008335.

  The problem is some secrets were stored in plaintext and some were
  stored encoded. This resulted in the inability to decode some secrets.

  This is fixed by always storing secrets in plaintext and decoding
  inconsistently stored data as needed when getting secrets.

  [Test Case]
    * deploy Openstack with Barbican using Vault as a backend
    * openstack volume type create --encryption-provider nova.volume.encryptors.luks.LuksEncryptor --encryption-cipher aes-xts-plain64 --encryption-key-size 256 --encryption-control-location front-end LUKS
    * openstack volume create --size 1 --type LUKS luks_vol1
    * ensure volume created successfully
    * openstack volume show luks_vol1
    * create vm and attach volume
    * mkfs and mount then test can read/write

  
  [Where things could go wrong]
  If things were to go wrong it would probably be in the get_secret() method which calls _ensure_legacy_base64(). _ensure_legacy_base64() assumes that anything that is not a key was stored base64 encoded. Presumably this is correct, but there was a path added to catch a UnicodeDecodeError exception to handle unexpected non-base64-encoded secrets.
