Prometheus Pull: Authenticate with Client Cert (without username and password) to the BigIP API /PullConsumer/ #273

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Using a username and password and put this into a configuration file in cleartext in prometheus is not the best idea. It would be good if it is possible that Prometheus could use a client certificate to authenticate at the "Telemetry_Pull_Consumer" Endpoint of the Big-IP to collect the metrics.

Describe the solution you'd like
