openssh_keypair: Adding passphrase parameter (#225)

* Integrating openssh module utils with openssh_keypair

* Added explicit PEM formatting for OpenSSH < 7.8

* Adding changelog fragment

* Adding OpenSSL/cryptography dependency for integration tests

* Adding private_key_format option and removing forced cryptography update for CI

* Fixed version check for bcrypt and key_format option name

* Setting no_log=False for private_key_format

* Docs correction and simplification of control flow for private_key_format
