## Details

Add a secret with a list of key values.

If a key has the '#base64' suffix, the value is already in base64 format and no
encoding will be performed, otherwise the value will be base64 encoded
prior to being stored.

If a key has the '#file' suffix, the value is read from the corresponding file.

A secret is owned by the model, meaning only the model admin
can manage it, ie grant/revoke access, update, remove etc.
