Description

A common security procedure for DB access is to require mutual TLS for the DB connection, e.g. as implemented by Google Cloud SQL for their hosted MySQL offering.

This involves specifying a server certificate, client certificate, and client key when connecting.

Django already supports this configuration, it looks like this:

DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
            'HOST': db_host,
            'NAME': 'test',
            'USER': 'root',
            'PASSWORD': 'root',
            'OPTIONS': {
               'ssl': {
                    'ca': 'server-ca.pem',
                    'cert': 'client-cert.pem',
                    'key': 'client-key.pem',
                }
            },
        },
    }

However the dbshell command does not support the client cert params ('cert' and 'key'), though it is aware of the server cert param 'ca'.

Should be a trivial fix to add in support for the other 'ssl' parameters required here, I'll take a look.
