[Certbot-dev] PKCS#11 Nginx serving

Following up from today's call, Nginx is capable of using SSL "engines",
which is how you would integrate a PKCS#11 key.

https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html#ssl_certificate_key

> Specifies a |/file/| with the secret key in the PEM format for the
given virtual server.

> The value |engine|:|/name/|:|/id/| can be specified instead of
the |/file/| (1.7.9), which loads a secret key with a
specified |/id/| from the OpenSSL engine |/name/|.

Note: I still don't think Certbot should implement support for PKCS#11
at this time.
