[Security Key] Update remote_security_key binary to provide debugging details

Project Member Reported by joedow@chromium.org, Aug 24 2016

Issue description

As of now we rely on host logs to trace problems with security key message forwarding, I think it would be faster if the remote_security_key binary had some troubleshooting capabilities for common configuration issues.

I think we should add a debug commandline param which:
1.) Checks the path for the binary in the registry
2.) Checks the Chrome Policy for security key
3.) Checks for the existence of the IPC channel
4.) If 3 works, then it could try connecting and sending a test message which would act as a loopback test.

Possibly also dump the current environment variables, need to consider whether that is useful or not.

Also consider sending a specific test message to the client as well though I'm not sure if that going too far or not, need to think a bit more about it.

This could still be useful however this has feature has been working well for a while now and this extra logging isn't really needed.  We can revisit if that changes.
