warmcat.com and libwebsockets.org use Let's Encrypt certificates... LE
have changed their CA signing arrangements and after 2021-01-12 (the
point I renewed the LE server certs and received one signed using the
new arrangements) it's required to trust new root certs for the examples
to connect to warmcat.com and libwebsockets.org.

This updates the in-tree CA copies, the remote policies on warmcat.com
have also been updated.
Just goes to show for real client infrastructure, you need to run your own
CA (that doesn't have to be trusted by anything outside the clients)
where you can control the CA lifetime.
Secure Streams is an optional layer on top of lws that separates policy
like endpoint selection and tls cert validation into a device JSON
policy document.
Code that wants to open a client connection just specifies a streamtype name,
and no longer deals with details like the endpoint, the protocol (!) or anything
else other than payloads and optionally generic metadata; the JSON policy
contains all the details for each streamtype. h1, h2, ws and mqtt client
connections are supported.
Logical secure streams outlive any particular connection and supports "nailed-up"
connectivity regardless of underlying connection stability.
