[feature] Allow loading TLS certs from disk (#1586)
Currently, GtS only supports using the built-in LE client directly for TLS. However, admins may still want to use GtS directly (so without a reverse proxy) but with certificates provided through some other mechanism. They may have some centralised way of provisioning these things themselves, or simply prefer to use LE but with a different challenge like DNS-01 which is not supported by autocert. This adds support for loading a public/private keypair from disk instead of using LE and reconfigures the server to use a TLS listener if we succeed in doing so. Additionally, being able to load TLS keypair from disk opens up the path to using a custom CA for testing purposes avoinding the need for a constellation of containers and something like Pebble or Step CA to provide LE APIs.

-# LetsEncrypt
+# TLS
+
+It's possible to configure TLS support in one of two ways:
+* Built-in support for Lets Encrypt / ACME compatible vendors
+* Loading TLS files from disk
+
+It is not possible to have both methods enabled at the same time.
+
+Note that when using TLS files loaded from disk you are responsible for restarting the instance when the files change. They are not automatically reloaded.
