Move DM crypt setup code to brick

Registered by Duncan Thomas

Cinder needs to be able to create encrypted volumes in order to do create from image or retype. Rather than duplicating the nova dm crypt code, it makes sense to move it into os-brick and call the same code from cinder and nova.

Note that this does not propose altering the setup code inside nova, since that will impede other work to move encryption inside KVM for guests.
