(it will also require
some upstream changes).
Basically this just creates a new schema version, and add the '
generate-self-signed-certificate-host' attribute to the keystore.
I have not added a script to enable HTTPS over management as Jason
suggested, I am not 100% sure if that really belongs in core or as part of
the full distribution.

We would leave the cert generation bit in the security realm, but just
don't enable the HTTPS interface. That way all that is required is for the
user to add the https="managements-https" attribute.
