[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.

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.

Settings

##############################
##### LETSENCRYPT CONFIG #####
##############################

# Config pertaining to the automatic acquisition and use of LetsEncrypt HTTPS certificates.

# Bool. Whether or not letsencrypt should be enabled for the server.
# If false, the rest of the settings here will be ignored.
# If you serve GoToSocial behind a reverse proxy like nginx or traefik, leave this turned off.
# If you don't, then turn it on so that you can use https.
# Options: [true, false]
# Default: false
letsencrypt-enabled: false

# Int. Port to listen for letsencrypt certificate challenges on.
# If letsencrypt is enabled, this port must be reachable or you won't be able to obtain certs.
# If letsencrypt is disabled, this port will not be used.
# This *must not* be the same as the webserver/API port specified above.
# Examples: [80, 8000, 1312]
# Default: 80
letsencrypt-port: 80

# String. Directory in which to store LetsEncrypt certificates.
# It is a good move to make this a sub-path within your storage directory, as it makes
# backup easier, but you might wish to move them elsewhere if they're also accessed by other services.
# In any case, make sure GoToSocial has permissions to write to / read from this directory.
# Examples: ["/home/gotosocial/storage/certs", "/acmecerts"]
# Default: "/gotosocial/storage/certs"
letsencrypt-cert-dir: "/gotosocial/storage/certs"

# String. Email address to use when registering LetsEncrypt certs.
# Most likely, this will be the email address of the instance administrator.
# LetsEncrypt will send notifications about expiring certificates etc to this address.
# Examples: ["admin@example.org"]
# Default: ""
letsencrypt-email-address: ""

##############################
##### MANUAL TLS CONFIG  #####
##############################

# String. Path to a PEM-encoded file on disk that includes the certificate chain 
# and the public key
# Examples: ["/gotosocial/storage/certs/chain.pem"]
# Default: ""
tls-certificate-chain: ""

# String. Path to a PEM-encoded file on disk containing the private key for the
# associated tls-certificate-chain
# Examples: ["/gotosocial/storage/certs/private.pem"]
# Default: ""
tls-certificate-key: ""
