Description

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

Seems there is no support for the -UseDefaultCredentials switch for Invoke-WebRequest in the PowerShell generator, at least from what I can gather from the mustache template.

Describe the solution you'd like

Built-in support for -UseDefaultCredentials

Describe alternatives you've considered

Currently having it hardcoded into the template, and am currently unable to implement it properly myself.

Additional context

We're using this to semi-automate the generation of PS modules for internal APIs in a government environment, so as few customisations we have to do manually the better.

Research direction

Start with the PowerShell generator's mustache template and trace how Invoke-WebRequest options are represented. Confirm how generated PowerShell modules currently handle request switches, then add built-in support for -UseDefaultCredentials and verify that generated modules include it without manual template customization.
