Coordinate unsealing of data that may only be available in sealed form

In a few conversations, the need for Motion to coordinate unsealing of data that's only available in sealed form has come up. This is to facilitate a S3 Glacier like functionality. This feature would require changes in the boost API to programmatically request unsealing, check its progress, etc.

Until further user requirements are clarified, this issue serves as a place holder to further investigate the scope of work.

@brendalee , boost would have to design and implement an API for this. Not a right now thing just want to make sure it is on your radar.

I would say this is M2-type functionality. The initial users of motion won't be "glacier-like" salespeople. Moreover reasonable unsealing without UaaS infrastructure is a tenuous proposition...

All in all - while having this functionality as a PoC might be valuable at some point, it is unlikely this will be useful in reality. Definitely not in the M1 version.
