Description
Currently, the http_server input does not support mutual TLS.
The underlying HTTP server Golang library does support this natively, so please add support for adding a client Certificate Authorities file.
A good suggestion - thanks @mihaitodor ! - is to add schema support consistent with a TLS object in the kafka input and socket input, and deprecating the top-level cert_file and key_file fields.

Research direction
Start with the http_server input and compare its configuration with the TLS objects documented for the kafka and socket inputs. Confirm how the underlying Go HTTP server accepts a client Certificate Authorities file, then verify that the new schema supports mTLS and that the existing top-level cert_file and key_file fields are deprecated.
