This will allow us to run a VM in fips mode.
The intention is to check if the host is running in fips mode
and then start a container in fips mode as well.

Fixes #787

Had to go look up what FIPS was ;-)
@amshinde - I'm presuming there are no noticeable size/speed impacts with this addition?

FIPS are a set of security standards for encryption algororithms
in user and kernel space among others.
Have Kata support this by starting the VM for a container
in FIPS mode on detecting that the host is running in FIPS mode.

Depends-on: github.com/kata-containers/packaging#788

Fixes kata-containers#2170
