I've applied Andreas's fix in the "gnutls_fixes" branch.

At this point, having seriously looked at the GnuTLS implementation and how
we're having to hardcode all sorts of available ciphers, I think that our
current code limits the ability of the library to automatically supply us with
new ciphersuites and protocols as GnuTLS provides them and this is a bad thing.

If anyone volunteers to work to more recent GnuTLS APIs, I'm happy to endorse
drastic changes. We can easily drop support for ancient releases of GnuTLS,
switch to modern APIs, etc.

I'd *like* us to keep any current options exposed to Exim, because we try hard
to avoid backwards-incompatible changes, but if that's not possible then I'll
even voice my support for dropping some options and adding big warnings to the
upgrade notes. (We'd actually accept the options and log that they're
meaningless now).
