Research direction

Start with twisted.web.client.BrowserLikePolicyForHTTPS and inspect how its constructor relates to twisted.internet._sslverify.optionsForClientTLS. Done means the policy accepts a client certificate and passes it through for HTTPS client authentication, with coverage added wherever the existing behavior is tested.
