This PR implements an embedded ACME server, powered by Smallstep libraries.

See #3021

It's really cool! You can use it simply by giving your own ACME directory endpoint in your other Caddy configs.

🚫 Not ready to merge. ✅ Ready to merge after 2.0

Still some cleanup to do, and some more features to come as well!

Below is a config that demonstrates this feature. To use it, simply add smallstep.rocks to your hosts file so that it points to 127.0.0.1.

When you start Caddy, you should see that it will try to obtain a certificate for smallstep.rocks from the ACME CA at https://localhost/acme/local/directory.

You'll notice that the ACME server is in fact just an HTTP handler module, which is pretty neat.

The above config also uses all default settings, but some things can be customized.

/cc @mmalone @maraino @dopey - at some point, it would be good to do a review together!

Update/bonus: TLS client auth certs can now be automated as well!
