Support PKI based authentication to ES

[nick-george]

Hi,

I've noticed that this module supports username/password authentication for ES API interaction, but it does not appear to support PKI auth (as described in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/pki-realm.html). It would be great if this module supported PKI auth, as it is my primary method of interacting with ES. It would allow users of the module to interact with the ES API without having to store the password on the Puppet Master.

Thanks for your consideration! Nick George.

Thanks for the feedback @nick-george! I don't have a timeline necessarily, but it's good to know it'd be a useful feature for folks.
