[vlc-devel][PATCH] lua httpd: use TLS if --http-cert is set

[Pierre Ynard]

This follows the same approach as oldhttp, and should allow configuring
the web interface to use HTTPS.

Fixes #19807

Untested (neither building, running, or testing with a valid TLS
certificate), but I hope that this can still help.
