Description

Linux: allow TLS renegotiation. Renegotiation was disabled when we switched to using our internal version of NSS. The default in the new versions is to prohibit renegotiation. However, since we are a client this is rather pointless. An attacker can easily convince us to start a new TLS connection to a host if they wish. BUG=none TEST=Go to a site that uses renegotiation (generally because they want to request a client-side cert).

Have filed bug 31647 for this.

I didn't patch libssl in this case because I think that the overhead of tracking
the small change to a 3rd party library is greater than the benefit in this
case.
