Support encryption of sensitive configuration variables in Ansible configuration files

[sync-by-unito]

The Ansible playbook that deploys the proxy requires the user to specify valid credentials to access clusters requiring authentication. Currently, these credentials are stored in clear in the Ansible configuration files, which can be a security concern.

We should look into encrypting these sensitive values to increase secure handling of the configuration.

Also see https://datastax.jira.com/browse/ZDM-495 as a related issue.
