Feedback on the TPA keyring configuration #7116

Description

Summary

Customers are complaining about the lack of information on how to configure the non-legacy keyring for encrypting the Ansible vault. Although strictly speaking this is not a TPA problem, customer experience would be improved if we provided some pointers on how the system keyring can be set up on the supported operating systems (i.e. the various Linux distros that TPA supports).

Here is an example of how this is done by IBM: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sqsp/51.0.0?topic=guide-using-encrypted-keys-optional

Perhaps we could take this page from their book, not literally of course.

Where did you see the problem?

https://github.com/EnterpriseDB/docs/blob/d8718e6f96a6d23a2715dd453593282a59170c6d/product_docs/docs/tpa/23/tpaexec-configure.mdx, at #keyring-backend-for-vault-password

Expected behavior

Provide basic guidance on how customers can set up the system keyring for use by the TPA.
