Description

### Code of Conduct

- [x] I agree to follow this project's [Code of Conduct](https://www.apache.org/foundation/policies/conduct)

### Search before asking

- [x] I have searched in the [issues](https://github.com/apache/kyuubi/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no similar issues.

### Describe the feature

A new Java-based interface to manage encryption secrets in the kyuubi-server-plugin module and deprecate the existing `org.apache.kyuubi.service.authentication.EngineSecuritySecretProvider`.

### Motivation

The secrets to encrypt Kyuubi internal communication are managed by a subclass of `org.apache.kyuubi.service.authentication.EngineSecuritySecretProvider` and developers can build their own providers and configure them. The problem is now the trait name become strange and should be renamed to something like `InternalSecuritySecretProvider`, not `EngineSecurity`.

### Describe the solution

_No response_

### Additional context

This idea comes from https://github.com/apache/kyuubi/pull/7418#discussion_r3219375001

Research direction

Start in the kyuubi-server-plugin module by reading org.apache.kyuubi.service.authentication.EngineSecuritySecretProvider and the discussion linked from PR 7418. Determine the shape of the replacement Java-based secret-provider interface and the compatibility requirements for deprecating the existing provider. Done means the new interface is available and the existing interface is deprecated without breaking configured providers.
