Import key and cert on server from Let's encrypt

To get picoquic to play with a "real" certificate, do the following:

  1. Run a web server on the same host. For test.privateoctopus.com, we use a basic apache server.

  2. Use "Let's encrypt to obtain a key and cert for that server.

  3. Find the directory on which Let's encrypt copy the current certs. On test.privateoctopus.com, this is /etc/letsencrypt/live/test.privateoctopus.com.

This folder contains a set of pem files and a README. Use "fullchain.pem" as the cert file, and "privkey.pem" as the key file.
