Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
yes, I have multiple hosts that already gather and maintain their own certificates and currently, the manager does not appear to support hosts having their own certs and just forwarding only create a new cert per host.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like under the SSL options for the "ssl_preread" to be made available for people who have such a case of hosts that already manage their own certificates.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only other alternatives I can find is removing SSL from the host and then managing the host SSL from the manager like a normal non-SSL host.

Research direction

Start by tracing how proxy-host SSL options are presented and how their settings become the Nginx configuration. Check the existing forwarding and certificate-handling paths before deciding where ssl_preread belongs. Done means hosts that manage their own certificates can enable ssl_preread through the SSL options without disrupting normal SSL proxy hosts.
