Remove support for encrypted TLS private keys

This feature allowed using an encrypted private key with a supplied password,
but did not provide additional security as the encryption is known to be broken,
and the key is sitting next to the password in the filesystem. Users are recommended
to decrypt the private key, and store it un-encrypted to continue using it.
