Feature Request: SSL connection with client side certificate
The libpq C library allows the use of client side SSL certificates to secure a connection to the PostgreSQL server. As I saw no mention of client side certificates in the API documentation, I wonder if this feature could be added.
@mbalmer: I'm happy to review PRs and merge them, if you are up to contribute this feature. Bonus if we could add an end2end test for it too.
I only discovered this library a few days ago, so I first need to understand the code (and learn how create a library using flutter ;)

@mbalmer: the package is designed for server-side apps, and not for mobile apps. Just mentioning this, as you have mentioned flutter...
My plan is to have a PostgreSQL client app running on a tablet in the same LAN as the PostgreSQL server. Are there any concerns when using this in a flutter app?
Adding a client side certificate should be straightforward, as a optional SecuritityContext object can be passed to the call to SecureSocket.connect() on line 315 of connection.dart

I have no idea how the Flutter app will handle connections if/when there is context switch between apps. Maybe a connection pool with strict settings helps there (e.g. package:postgres_pool), you'll need to try it first :)
I will give that a try. My work is in a proof of concept state only...
