Dialer: add optional methods NetDialTLS and NetDialTLSContext #1

Fixes issue: gorilla#745

With the previous interface, NetDial and NetDialContext were used for
both TLS and non-TLS TCP connections, and afterwards TLSClientConfig was
used to do the TLS handshake.

While this API works for most cases, it prevents from using more advance
authentication methods during the TLS handshake, as this is out of the
control of the user.

This commits introduces another pair of dial methods, NetDialTLS and
NetDialTLSContext which are used when dialing for TLS/TCP. The code then
assumes that the handshake is done there and TLSClientConfig is not
used.

This API change is fully backwards compatible and it better aligns with
net/http.Transport API, which has these four dial flavors. See:
https://pkg.go.dev/net/http#Transport
