Allow graceful reloads in case of certificate changes
I currently can't find a way to gracefully reload websockify in case the certificate changes.
With graceful I'd mean something similar to haproxy - when you reload haproxy, all existing connections are still served, but new ones receive the new certificate. At the moment, I restart websockify, which terminates any connections.
This would - I imagine - become more needed with let's encrypt, especially if they intend to shorten the certificate validity further.
If this is already possible, documentation would help in avoiding similar questions. ;)
Unfortunately I don't think it is likely we'll support this as it is not supported by multiprocessing, which is the core architecture of the current code. :/

Hello!
Apologies if I actually don't know well the codebase to understand if multiprocessing is something not related to this project. Does it exist an upstream bug about what you say?
Thank you.
It's about the current architecture of websockify, so I don't think upstream Python needs to modify anything.
