This PR adds support for using pre-shared keys in TLS connections. MQTT servers seem to start to support this, at least mosquitto does. This is an alternative to generating a self-signed cert and then distributing the cert to all mobile devices. With PSK one can now generate a long random hex string and simply use that as key. It also makes it easy to have multiple identity->key pairs, basically they act like passwords.
I would be happy to write some docs for this, but am not sure where to add given that WiFiClientSecure doesn't have any docs.

You can add README.md to the root of WiFiClientSecure library :)
