feat(auth): new auth with cert service

[marianfoo]

first PoC to authenticate with a SAP Passport Certificate to BTP using playwright and abstraction package playwright-client-certificate-login
currently, to make this work, put pfx file to folder ui5-ts-app and rename it to sap.pfx and put your passphrase to in the CertAuthenticator.ts and run npm run authentication:btp.

This is just a PoC, needs better testing cases and proper config handling in the CertAuthenticator.ts.
Still work to do but it works locally, should also work on pipelines

This automation done in playwright-client-certificate-login can be easily done in WebdriverIO as well, allowing you to avoid the additional dependency to Playwright. Wdyt?

I haven't seen any example of it. Can you show me a demo or documentation ?

@marianfoo sorry I was a bit to quick to judge here. It is currently not as easy to do it with WebDriver.

we tried setting the certificate with pk12util but it just did not work, locally and in the pipeline. Using the new feature from playwright i just so much easier and it just works.
It would be great to have this feature in WebdriverIO for tests, till then i´ll use Playwright.

@vobu @Siolto
any capacity to review?

[vobu]

finally got to this - and it's GOOD
this will hopefully remove the blocker for using wdi5 with apps deployed on BTP with standard SAP Client ID authentication

[vobu]

if it should always be accounts.sap.com, we could also move it away from user-facing ... but that's optional, so nothing to act on for now
