openvpn config tls_auth / key_direction

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

Currently, the tls_auth is defined as this:

{ Value, "tls_auth", "/etc/openvpn/tlsauth.key 1", translate("Additional authentication over TLS") },

It should probably be a FileUpload. As for the 1 flag, this can also be set using key_direction. This allows an easy way to configure the tls_auth file without using SSH to do it.
