Added ability to import certificates of other types than PKCS12/PFX #8

The Import-PfxCertificate only allows importing PKCS12-encoded certificates (often with its private key). Windows however allows certificates to be exported in several formats: PKCS12, PKCS7 and X509 (DER and Base64 encoded).

I have added an additional parameter Format to the resource to allow the user to specify which format the certificate is in, and some additional logic to use the Import-Certificate method for all formats except PKCS12. Available formats are PKCS12, PKCS7 and X509. The resource will default to the PKCS12 format for backwards compatibility.

I first considered basing the logic solely on the file extension of the FilePath, but reconsidered since in my experience there are a lot of variations on certificate file extensions: .cer, .cert, .crt, .pfx, .p12.
