Install-Module should offer client certificate authentication

[tylermontneyacc]

Summary of the new feature / enhancement

For instance, my private NuGet server requires a client certificate. I cannot specify this with Install-Package Install-Module.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

As far as I can tell, Install-Package Install-Module calls Invoke-WebRequest. This cmdlet does support client certificate authentication, which should be a simple pass through.

@tylermontneyacc thanks for the suggestion! This would be a great feature to have, but unfortunately we probably won't be able to get to this issue anytime soon. We'll likely be able to look into this once we GA PowerShellGet v3 and work on adding some more new features to the module.

@alerickson any update?

It would be great if PowerShellGet can integrate with Azure DevOps Artifacts. In theory, this could be facilitated by an app registration in Azure. The goal is that a device joined to Azure AD can be issued a certificate, and with that certificate authenticate against DevOps (not being tied to a specific user).

Install-Package cmdlet isn't in this repo. It's in the OneGet repo. It's also deprecated only getting security updates.

@ThomasNieto This entire time I was actually talking about Install-Module. Sorry, no idea how I didn't catch that.
