WTH - Why the MQTT integration does not allow connect to brokers via websockets

Month of "What the heck?!"

The current MQTT integration only allows the direct MQTT protocol. However, if I am hosting the MQTT broker in cloud or in a K8s cluster, I can only expose the websocket via http / https. Hence, HA should allow the MQTT integration via websockets.

HA will support websockets from HA 2022.12.0
