/// Runs the web server on the provided TCP listener and returns a `Server` instance.
///
/// # Arguments
///
/// * `listener` - A `TcpListener` instance representing the address and port to listen on.
///
/// # Returns
///
/// Returns a `Result` containing a `Server` instance on success, or an `std::io::Error` on failure.
///
/// # Example
///
/// ```rust
/// use std::net::TcpListener;
/// use websurfx::{config::parser::Config, run};
///
/// let config = Config::parse().unwrap();
/// let listener = TcpListener::bind("127.0.0.1:8080").expect("Failed to bind address");
/// let server = run(listener,config).expect("Failed to start server");
/// ```
