[issue2551373] Create https live server for testing HTTPS only cookie generation

New submission from John Rouillard:

issue 2551370 changes the session cookie name to restrict use to only https channels.

I have testing for the http channel, but not https.

I need a way in the testing environment to spin up an HTTPS endpoint that I can
test against using an HTTPS url. Then verify the cookie has the proper __Secure- prefix.

The roundup-server script can self-generate https keys, but the script is not
set up to allow me to easily spin it up and shut it down in a testing
environment.

Ideally this implementation would extend test/wsgi_liveserver.py.


Possible idea:
