pfsense_openvpn_client support for auth_user and auth_pass fields #131
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When configuring a vpn client, there currently doesn't appear to be a way to populate the "Username" and "Password" fields of the "User Authentication" section. In the xml, these are the following:
<openvpn>
<openvpn-client>
<auth_user></auth_user>
<auth_pass></auth_pass>
</openvpn-client>
</openvpn>This is useful when trying to configure an external VPN service, such as PIA.
Describe the solution you'd like
Add the fields auth_user and auth_pass to the api to populate these fields in the xml.
Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Would you be up for filing a PR for this? It should be fairly straightforward.

Interested as well. Maybe I can have a look at the code soon.
@opoplawski could you please give me a starting point where this could be added ... thanks!
