Description

This would allow the use of sops without needing to update key names in the areas that they are used to have _encrypted or _unencrypted.

Encrypted example:

db:
    password_encrypted: ENC[...]

Upon decryption with a "strip suffix option":

db:
    password: pw123

Start by locating the decryption option handling and reviewing the existing issue discussion; done means an optional suffix-stripping behavior for encrypted and unencrypted keys, with existing decryption behavior unchanged.
