Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
I've created the cloudflare tunnel for my local mqtt broker, so I can access it from internet. Unfortunately it works only through websocket transport. Can the MQTT client configuration be extendend with websocket transport option?
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
This will enable nicely the access to local mqtt broker from esphome devices running outside of local HA network (second flat, summer house etc).
**Additional context**

Research direction
No files, tests, or implementation entry points are identified in the request. Start by locating the MQTT client configuration and existing transport handling, then determine the scope of adding websocket transport; done means ESPHome devices can connect to the described broker through the Cloudflare tunnel.
