Description

Jira task: https://scylladb.atlassian.net/browse/DRIVER-545
Jira epic: https://scylladb.atlassian.net/browse/DRIVER-40

Copied from Jira epic DRIVER-40:

Alternator is going to get certificate authentication: https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/23684

We need to update clients to make it easy for user to feed client certificate to DynamoDB client.

Optionally:

  1. Certificate to be reloadable.
  2. Disable signature generation code by AWS SDK

Migrated from GitHub issue: https://github.com/scylladb/alternator-load-balancing/issues/111

Research direction

Start with the linked Jira task DRIVER-545 and inspect the C++ client's existing DynamoDB and AWS SDK configuration. Determine where client certificate settings can be exposed and whether certificate reload or disabling signature generation is in scope. Done means the client can accept a certificate for Alternator TLS authentication, with the optional behaviors clarified.
