Description
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.

The issue names no files or tests; start by tracing how Install-Module reaches Invoke-WebRequest and how request options are exposed. Confirm how client certificate authentication is represented for a private NuGet server, then verify that a certificate can be specified and used successfully by Install-Module.
