Stephen Finucane 2454636386 compute: Generate SSH keypairs ourselves
Starting with the 2.92 microversion, nova will no longer generate SSH
keys. Avoid breaking users by generating keypairs ourselves using the
cryptography library, which was already an indirect dependency through
openstacksdk.

The ``openstack keypair create`` command will now generate keypairs on the
client side in ssh-ed25519 format. The Compute service no longer supports
server-side key generation starting with ``--os-compute-api-version 2.92``
while the use of ssh-ed25519 is necessary as support for ssh-rsa has been
disabled by default starting in OpenSSH 8.8, which prevents its use in
guests using this version of OpenSSH in the default configuration.
ssh-ed25519 support is widespread and is supported by OpenSSH 6.5 or later
and Dropbear 2020.79 or later.
