The `/sys/sealwrap/rewrap` endpoint is used to rewrap all seal wrapped entries.
This is useful when you want to upgrade seal wrapped entries to use the latest
key, for example, after a seal migration or after rotating the remote keyring.

## Start a seal rewrap process

This endpoint starts a seal rewrap process if one is not currently running.
