[MS-BKRP] backupkey server and GnuTLS

Hello,

I've started to migrate the backupkey server implementation to GnuTLS.

https://git.samba.org/?p=asn/samba.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/master-backupkey

The 5 patches before the TODO patch are working and pass the tests. They can 
be pushed upstream.

To move on we have an issue. GnuTLS doesn't provide a function to set the 
issuer unique id on a certificate. There is also no workaround because the 
flag is cleared before singing. The function will be added to the next GnuTLS 
release.

The bug for that is:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1281343


As soon as the function is available I will add functions to use GnuTLS, if 
not we will use the existing heimdal code. This means with a MIT KDC build you 
will need a recent GnuTLS release.


Cheers,
