Just like in case of LUKS (#436), we'll let Coriolis users specify a BitLocker recovery password.

At the very least it should unlock the OS volume, however it may be used for other encrypted volumes as well. If no encrypted volume could be unlocked using the specified key, Coriolis will error out.

In addition to that, we'll temporarily suspend BitLocker on the specified volumes. It won't decrypt the volumes, it merely adds a publicly accessible protector that allows the replica instance to boot.

Once the replica instance boots, BitLocker will be resumed automatically and the TPM protector will be reconfigured.
