[JENKINS-57845] provide configurator/databound setter for certificate credential (PKCS12 and so on)

JCasC cannot easily configure UploadedKeyStoreSource as the expected input is a bytes array.

Users would like to configure the certificate via the same "upload" function that is provided by stapler when configured via JCasC

Workaround: "cat file.pkcs | base64"
