Description

While the tlslite-ng supports SNI extension (server_name), it supports just one value as the expected name.

Add support for multiple virtual hosts, each with their own certificates, select them based on SNI in ClientHello.

This is continuation of work started in #196

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study tlslite ng's SNI handling in the handshake, then implement virtual host selection based on ClientHello SNI, mapping to appropriate certificate chain.
