Added documentation to set up let's encrypt certificate (#745)

.. code-block:: bash
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/funkwhale.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
.. note::
At this point you will need a certificate to enable HTTPS on your server.
There are many ways to obtain this certificate. The most popular and free
way is to obtain it from Let's Encryt. To do this, you can use an utility
called certbot. You can find a complete documentation on how to use certbot
at the `certbot documentation <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/>`.
Check the configuration is valid with ``nginx -t`` then reload your nginx server with ``systemctl restart nginx``.

If you plan to use to in-place import, ensure the alias value
in the ``_protected/music`` location matches your MUSIC_DIRECTORY_SERVE_PATH
env var.
HTTS Configuration
::::::::::::::::::
At this point you will need a SSL certificate to enable HTTPS on your server.
The default nginx configuration assumes you have those available at ``/etc/letsencrypt/live/${FUNKWHALE_HOSTNAME}/``, which
is the path used by `certbot <https://certbot.eff.org/docs/>`_ when generating certificates with Let's Encrypt.
In you already have a certificate you'd like to use, simply update the nginx configuration
and replace ``ssl_certificate`` and ``ssl_certificate_key`` values with the proper paths.
If you don't have one, comment or remove the lines starting with ``ssl_certificate`` and ``ssl_certificate_key``. You can then proceed to generate
a certificate, as shown below:
.. code-block:: shell
# install certbot with nginx support
sudo apt install python-certbot-nginx
# generate the certificate
# (accept the terms of service if prompted)
sudo certbot --nginx -d yourfunkwhale.domain
This should create a valid certificate and edit the nginx configuration to use the new certificate.
Reloading
:::::::::
Check the configuration is valid with ``nginx -t`` then reload your nginx server with ``sudo systemctl reload nginx``.
