nss: add option to use p11-kit

This commit adds an option to replace libnssckbi with the
p11-kit-trust[1] module. It makes all NSS application (like Firefox,
Chromium, etc.) use the system trust store (/etc/ssl/certs/ in NixOS)
and other PKCS#11 modules without ad-hoc configuration.

This approach was first implemented in Fedora[2] and other distributions
like Arch Linux, later.
