Search certificates using certificates attributes and statuses

[brental]

BUSINESS PROBLEM
In order to avoid creating a duplicate certificate we would like to search for certificates based on certificate attributes and statuses. Based on the response we could then either proceed with creating a certificate or abort the creation.

PROPOSED SOLUTION
Expose the ability to search for certificates using the vcert CLI in the same way as the web SDK GET Certificates endpoint:
https://docs.venafi.com/Docs/current/TopNav/Content/SDK/WebSDK/r-SDK-GET-Certificates.php?tocpath=REST%20APIs%7CWeb%20SDK%20REST%7CCertificate%20endpoints%20for%20TLS%7CCertificates%20API%7C_____5

It seems like the functionality may already be available in vcert to some extent as there are some functions for searching certificates using a search request. However, these functions are not exposed as commands. So, it would be good if these functions could be exposed as commands OR implement the appropriate command and functions if those functions do not match the above endpoint's functionality.

Suggested name for the command would be: searchcertificates

CURRENT ALTERNATIVES
Use the following web SDK endpoint:
https://docs.venafi.com/Docs/current/TopNav/Content/SDK/WebSDK/r-SDK-GET-Certificates.php?tocpath=REST%20APIs%7CWeb%20SDK%20REST%7CCertificate%20endpoints%20for%20TLS%7CCertificates%20API%7C_____5
