F5 BIGIP & XC certbot plugin

Hi!

As I maintain the certbot-f5bigip plugin to enable the certbot as ACME client to validate and install certificates, I now published the certbot-f5xc plugin! Currently only DNS validation with the DNS01 challenge is supported, so if you use F5 XC for DNS, you can use this plugin to verify domains for your certificates and use the certificate then for other infrastructure beside XC HTTP LBs (which can do auto-cert provisioning already).

I will add an installer next, so certificates can be uploaded / installed to XC and re-used with HTTP LBs, so stay tuned!

Here are the links to the repositories on gitlab.com:
