Attached is a new version which doesn't contain the NSS certificate databases
to keep the CFBot happy.

It also implements server-side passphrase callbacks as well as re-enables the
tests for those. The callback works a bit differently from the OpenSSL one as
it must run in the forked process, so it can't run on server reload. There's
also no default fallback reading from a TTY like in OpenSSL, so if no callback
it set the always-failing dummy is set.
