Core: allow setting mTLS client cert,key #5092

@oxy-star

Description

@oxy-star

Describe the feature

Add support for mutual TLS

Use Case

mTLS allows client and server authenticate each other. This enabled secure client-server communication on insecure or in unrestricted(non-friewalled) networks.

Proposed Solution

Add client_cert and client_key configuration parameters which will get mapped to ClientTlsConfig.

Looking at the code, glide core code has support for mTLS except that required parameters are not initialzed and not exposed to clients. For exmaple,

        let tls_certs = TlsCertificates {
            client_tls: None,
            root_cert: Some(combined_certs),
        };

mTLS would work if client_tls could be set when initializing a client.
