Description

Currently the bootstrapper as two strategy available to download the latest paket exe github or nuget.
With the nuget one it is not possible to use a secured nuget feed (one with credentials).

Would it be possible to add this option? This is already handled properly by paket.exe.

Maybe could we also try to find the nuget.config and if present get feed configuration in there. But this indeed would create a dependency with nuget.client which is not the best idea.

Research direction

Start by locating the bootstrapper's NuGet download strategy and compare it with the credential handling already supported by paket.exe. Review how a nuget.config might provide feed configuration, keeping the proposed NuGet.Client dependency in scope. Done means the bootstrapper can download from a secured NuGet feed while preserving the existing GitHub and public-feed strategies.
