http: optionally send SSL client certificate

This adds support for a new http.sslAutoClientCert config value.

In cURL 7.77 or later the schannel backend does not automatically send
client certificates from the Windows Certificate Store anymore.

This config value is only used if http.sslBackend is set to "schannel",
and can be used to opt in to the old behavior and force cURL to send
client certificates.

This fixes #3292
