Adding support for encrypted server private keys.

The meat of this patch is changes to tls2.c, tls_g.c, tls_m.c, and tls_o.c to
send a password to the underlying TLS library.

Changes to ldap.h, init.c and ldap-int.h expose the new
LDAP_OPT_X_TLS_KEYPASSWORD in the main API.

Changes in the contrib/ldapc++ directory expose the corresponding
TlsOptions::KEYPASSWORD option in the C++ API.

Changes in the servers directory expose equivalent options for servers as
configuration file entries or environment variables.

Changes in the doc directory add documentation about the new options and remove
statements that indicated that encrypted keyfiles are not supported.

New files in the test directory are for testing TLS connections, both in general
and with encrypted keyfiles. Tests pass for OpenSSL and GnuTLS using PEM
formatted certs and keys, and for MozNSS using cert/key databases. The new unit
test (test065-tls) has been written to detect when using NSS, and use the
cert/key databases in this case. I have been unable to get a working version of
libnsspem, so I cannot test MozNSS with (or without) encrypted keyfiles -
testing for this case would be welcome!
