   GET SPECIFIC AUTHENTICATION METHOD
   CREATED BY: Vadim Melamed, EMAIL: vmelamed5@gmail.com
.DESCRIPTION
   USE THIS FUNCTION TO GET SPECIFIC AUTHENTICATION METHOD INTO CYBERARK
.PARAMETER token
   HashTable of data containing various pieces of login information (PVWA, LoginToken, HeaderType, etc).
   If -token is not passed, function will use last known hashtable generated by New-VPASToken
.PARAMETER AuthMethodSearch
   Search string to find the target AuthenticationMethod
.PARAMETER AuthMethodID
   Unique ID that maps to the target AuthenticationMethod
   Supply AuthMethodID to skip any querying for target AuthenticationMethod
.EXAMPLE
   $AuthenticationMethodJSON = Get-VPASSpecificAuthenticationMethod -AuthMethodSearch {SEARCH QUERY VALUE}
.EXAMPLE
   $AuthenticationMethodJSON = Get-VPASSpecificAuthenticationMethod -AuthMethodID {AUTH METHOD ID VALUE}
.OUTPUTS
   JSON Object (AuthenticationMethod) if successful
   $false if failed
