scion-pki: enable kms support

Enable the scion-pki tool to interact with various cloud KMS and HSMs
through the step-kms-plugin. The step-kms-plugin must be installed and
available in the PATH.

For more information about step-kms-plugin, please refer to the
documentation at https://github.com/smallstep/step-kms-plugin.

To see example usage of step-kms-plugin, please
refer to

+Run the step-kms-plugin
+
+Synopsis
+~~~~~~~~
+
+
+This command leverages the step-kms-plugin to interact with cloud Key Management
+Systems (KMS) and Hardware Security Modules (HSM).
+
+The commands are passed directly to the step-kms-plugin. For more information on
+the available commands and their usage, please refer to the step-kms-plugin
+documentation at https://github.com/smallstep/step-kms-plugin. In order to enable
+KMS support, the step-kms-plugin must be installed and available in the PATH.
+
+Various commands of the scion-pki tool allow the use of KMS. In all cases, the
+private key needs to already exist in the KMS. To instruct the scion-pki tool to
+use the key in the KMS, the --kms flag must be set.
+
+For more information about supported KMSs and uri pattern, please consult
+https://smallstep.com/docs/step-ca/cryptographic-protection.
