httpd fails to start after installing capsule in FIPS mode

Description

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install katello server in fips mode
2. try to install capsule in fips mode

Actual results:
the installer on capsule fails, the httpd fails with

> /var/log/httpd/katello-reverse-proxy_error_ssl.log <
AH02252: incomplete client cert configured for SSL proxy (missing or encrypted private key?)

Expected results:
capsule installed as expected

Additional info:

Combining "Note: Apache httpd mod_ssl [SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile] does not support PKCS#8 key format." from https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3214421 and "You can't [use BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY] because the format isn't allowed in FIPS mode because it uses MD5 for key derivation." from http://openssl.6102.n7.nabble.com/Not-getting-quot-RSA-quot-keyword-for-a-key-in-fips-mode-td58588.html, it gives us the only option of not using SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile for the capsule.

I was not able to find any reason why to set the SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile for defining
the rhsm proxy (my tests showed that the proxying the client requests with consumer ceriticates
worked just find), but if anyone can think of one reason, please speak up.

This was released as puppet-certs 4.4.3 but Katello 3.10 includes 4.4.2. There likely won't be a Katello 3.10.2 to include this.
