Use --keyfile option to pass keys to all Ceph CLIs

Every Ceph CLI that is invoked at present passes the key via the
--key option, and hence is exposed to key being displayed on
the host using a ps command or such means.

This commit addresses this issue by stashing the key in a tmp
file, which is again created on a tmpfs (or empty dir backed by
memory). Further using such tmp files as arguments to the --keyfile
option for every CLI that is invoked.

This prevents the key from being visible as part of the argument list
of the invoked program on the system.

Fixes: #318
