I've just updated rustls-pemfile in sid.

The question is, with the looming freeze what should we do about
hyper-rustls, I see a few options.

1. Convince Jonas to update it (crickets so-far, and it would also break stuff that was still on the old rustls unless he semver-suffixes it)
2. Introduce a rust-rustls-pemfile-2 package, it wouldn't technically be a hijack,
    but it would still seem to be treading on his toes.
3. Embed the required code from hyper-rustls in rustls-pemfile, until the standalone crate is available at a suitable version.

I'm inclined towards option 3 for the time being.
