The Server struct has exported fields, which allows users to manually create a Server object without using using NewServer or NewTLSServer and directly call Start or StartTLS on their object. In order to ensure that manual creation of Server works, the NewUnstartedServer function should not initialize Server in any way that the user was not able to do themselves. For example, the setting of a unexported filed, client, is not something a user can do. Thus, rather than setting the client field in NewUnstartedServer, we lazily initialize it when Start or StartTLS is called. Otherwise, the Server logic can nil panic later when it assumes that this field has been initialized.
