TODO: WinSSL: 'Add option to disable client cert auto-send'

By default WinSSL selects and send a client certificate automatically,
but for privacy and consistency we should offer an option to disable the
default auto-send behavior.

+15.4 Add option to disable client certificate auto-send
+
+ Microsoft says "By default, Schannel will, with no notification to the client,
+ attempt to locate a client certificate and send it to the server." That could
+ be considered a privacy violation and unexpected.
+
+ Some Windows users have come to expect that default behavior and to change the
+ default to make it consistent with other SSL backends would be a breaking
+ change. An option should be added that can be used to disable the default
+ Schannel auto-send behavior.
