Warn against using a Let's Encrypt certificate for TLS/DTLS TURN server client connections, and suggest using ZeroSSL certificate instead. This bypasses client-side connectivity errors caused by WebRTC libraries that reject Let's Encrypt certificates. Contibuted by @AndrewFerr.

We recommend that you only try to set up TLS/DTLS once you have set up a
basic installation and got it working.
NB: If your TLS certificate was provided by Let's Encrypt, TLS/DTLS will
not work with any Matrix client that uses Chromium's WebRTC library. This
currently includes Element Android & iOS; for more details, see their
[respective](https://github.com/vector-im/element-android/issues/1533)

[WebRTC issue](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/webrtc/issues/detail?id=11710).
Consider using a ZeroSSL certificate for your TURN server as a working alternative.

* Check that you have opened your firewall to allow UDP traffic to the UDP
relay ports (49152-65535 by default).
* Try disabling `coturn`'s TLS/DTLS listeners and enable only its (unencrypted)
TCP/UDP listeners. (This will only leave signaling traffic unencrypted;
voice & video WebRTC traffic is always encrypted.)
* Some WebRTC implementations (notably, that of Google Chrome) appear to get
confused by TURN servers which are reachable over IPv6 (this appears to be
an unexpected side-effect of its handling of multiple IP addresses as
