…nction (#1877)

get_client_ssl_credentials had a bug that defaulted the cert path to
CERTIFICATE_CONFIGURATION_DEFAULT_PATH if not explicitly specified. The
correct behavior should be to delegate the lookup logic to
"_get_workload_cert_and_key" which also takes into account the cert
config path set by the env var GOOGLE_API_CERTIFICATE_CONFIG.
