Andy Green b318877cd9 adopt: allow associated accepted vhost connections to specific role
Normalize the vhost options around optionally handling noncompliant
traffic at the listening socket for both non-tls and tls cases.

By default everything is as before.

However it's now possible to tell the vhost to allow noncompliant
connects to fall back to a specific role and protocol, both set
by name in the vhost creation info struct.

The original vhost flags allowing http redirect to https and
direct http serving from https server (which is a security
downgrade if enabled) are cleaned up and tested.

A minimal example minimal-raw-fallback-http-server is added with
switches to confirm operation of all the valid possibilities (see
the readme on that).

# lws minimal raw fallback http server
This is the same as the minimal http server, with one difference...
if you connect to localhost:7681 with something that doesn't send
recognizable http, then the connection will be switched to a
raw-skt role and bind to a protocol that echoes anything sent back
to the sender.
## build
```
$ cmake . && make
```
## usage
Commandline option|Meaning
---|---
-d <loglevel>|Debug verbosity in decimal, eg, -d15
-s|Configure the server for tls / https and `LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_NON_SSL_ON_SSL_PORT`
-h|(needs -s) Configure the vhost also for `LWS_SERVER_OPTION_ALLOW_HTTP_ON_HTTPS_LISTENER`, allowing http service on tls port (caution... it's insecure then)
-r|(needs -s) Configure the vhost also for `LWS_SERVER_OPTION_REDIRECT_HTTP_TO_HTTPS`, so the server issues a redirect to https to clients that attempt to connect to a server configured for tls with http.
```

This allows testing of various combinations of special features for unexpected
content on an http(s) listening socket.
