Amin Ben Romdhane b8b02aabd3 bbfdm: Added bbf.secure to encode/decode values
Added a ubus method `bbf.secure` which allows encoding/decoding of values using sha512 hash or with a RSA private/public key pair

# BBFDM configuration options and utilities
bbfdm provides few compile time configuration options and compile time help utility called [bbfdm.mk](./bbfdm.mk), this document aimed to explain the available usages and best practices.
## Compilation options
| Configuration option | Description | Default Value |
| ----------------------- | ------------- | ----------- |
| CONFIG_BBF_VENDOR_LIST | List of vendor extension directories | iopsys |
| CONFIG_BBF_VENDOR_PREFIX | Prefix for Vendor extension datamodel objects/parameters | X_IOPSYS_EU_ |
| CONFIG_BBF_TR143 | Enable/Add TR-143 Data Model Support | y |
| CONFIG_BBF_TR471 | Enable/Add TR-471 Data Model Support | y |
| CONFIG_BBF_MAX_OBJECT_INSTANCES | Maximum number of instances per object | 255 |
| BBF_OBFUSCATION_KEY | Hash used to encode/decode in `bbf.secure` object | 371d530c95a17d1ca223a29b7a6cdc97e1135c1e0959b51106cca91a0b148b5e42742d372a359760742803f2a44bd88fca67ccdcfaeed26d02ce3b6049cb1e04 |
#### BBF_OBFUSCATION_KEY
`bbfdm` provides an ubus object called `bbf.secure` to allow encoding/decoding the values, `bbf.secure` currently support following methods internally to encode/decode
- Encode/Decode using a predefined SHA512 Hash key
- Encode/Decode using a private/public RSA key pair
The `BBF_OBFUSCATION_KEY` compile time configuration option used to defined the SHA512 HASH, if this option is undefined, then it usages a default value as mention in the above table.
User must override this parameter with their own hash value, to generate a hash user can run below command and copy the hash value to this option.
ex: User wants to use 'Sup3rS3cur3Passw0rd' as passkey, then can get the SHA512 sum with
```bash
$ echo -n "Sup3rS3cur3Passw0rd" | sha512sum

```
> Note: Additionally, user can install RSA private key in '/etc/bbfdm/certificates/private_key.pem' path, if private key is present `bbf.secure` shall use rsa private certificate for encrypt/decrypt function. In case of key not present in the pre-defined path, hash will be used for the same.
## Helper utility (bbfdm.mk)
bbfdm provides a helper utility [bbfdm.mk](./bbfdm.mk) to install datamodel plugins in bbfdm core or in microservice directory.
### Install datamodel DotSO/JSON plugin in bbfdm core
Utility to install the DotSO/JSON plugin in bbfdm core plugin path
```bash
# inputs:
# $1 => package install directory
# $2 => Plugin artifact
```
Example:
```make
define Package/$(PKG_NAME)/install
$(call BbfdmInstallPlugin,$(1),./files/etc/bbfdm/json/CWMPManagementServer.json)
endef
```
### Install datamodel DotSO/JSON plugin in bbfdm core with priority
Its now possible to overwrite/remove core datamodel with plugin, so, if some datamodel objects/parameters are present in more than one plugin, order in which they loaded into memory becomes crucial, this Utility help to configure a priority order in which they gets loaded in memory.
```bash
# inputs:
# $1 => package install directory
# $2 => Priority of the installed plugin
# $3 => Plugin artifact
```
Example:
```make
define Package/$(PKG_NAME)/install
$(call BbfdmInstallPluginWithPriority,$(1),01,$(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/bbf_plugin/bulkdata.json)
endef
```
> Note: Last loaded plugin gets the highest priority
### Install plugin into micro-service directory
Utility to install the plugin in datamodel microservice directory, ex. user wants to run a datamodel micro-service, it required to install the DotSO/JSON plugin into a non bbf core directory, this utility helps in installing the DotSO/JSON plugin in mentioned directory.
```bash
# inputs:
# $1 => package install directory with micro-service directory
# $2 => Plugin artifact
```
Example:
```make
define Package/$(PKG_NAME)/install
$(call BbfdmInstallPluginInMicroservice,$(1)/etc/bulkdata,$(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/bbf_plugin/bulkdata.json)
endef
```
### Install datamodel micro-service input file
Utility to install the datamodel plugin input file into the bbfdm micro-service directory, so that bbfdm auto start the datamodel micro-service before main bbfdm process.
```bash
# inputs:
# $1 => package install directory
# $2 => Microservice input.json path
```
Example:
```make
define Package/$(PKG_NAME)/install
$(call BbfdmInstallMicroServiceInputFile,$(1),./files/etc/bulkdata/input.json)
endef
```
