Cookbook ama-ssh-private-keys

This cookbook allows end user to install private keys for specified
accounts.

Cookbook provides self-explanatory ssh_private_key resource:

ssh_private_key 'id_rsa' do
  user 'jodie'
  private_key '-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----...'
  public_key 'AAAAB3NzaC1kc...'
  passphrase 'i beg you pardon?'
end

This will create id_rsa and id_rsa.pub in jodie's ~/.ssh folder. If
jodie account doesn't exist yet, /home/jodie/.ssh will be used (or
path specified in the resource - see below). If you are a super lazy
person, there's default recipe that will take data bag with name
specified in ['ama']['ssh-private-keys']['data-bag'] attribute
('ssh-private-keys' by default) and iterate it's contents, creating a
new resource for each item.

By default, keys and passphrase are validated with ssh-keygen that
confirms that all components are what they are and match each other.
This may be turned off as well, if desired.

Cookbook is tested against Debian 7.3+, Ubuntu 14.04+, Centos 6.0+
and Fedora 24+, but generally it should work everywhere.
