Allow TLS authentication for the external authorization service

Bob Van Landuyt requested to merge bvl-ext-auth-mutual-tls into master

What does this MR do?

This adds the possibility for an admin to provide a client certificate and key to perform TLS authentication on the external authorization service.

Tried this out locally using gitlab-development-kit!447 (diffs)

Are there points in the code the reviewer needs to double check?

There is no way to provide a custom CA for only this feature. Excon does not allow setting a CA for the scope of just one request. And we don't want to have the custom CA interfere with any other uses of Excon (fe. object storage uploads).

This means that the certificate needs to be present in the OpenSSL installation for the host running GitLab.
