you have a good point. The API required by the patch was introduced in NSS
3.14. It would be possible to introduce a new compile-time check and support
both the APIs. On the other hand, I am not aware of any secured NSS release
older than 3.14. Upstream does not backport security fixes to older releases
and neither does Red Hat. Even the oldest supported RHEL now uses NSS 3.14:

Hence I propose to just update docs/INTERNALS to require the new version and
to check for the new symbols in the autoconf check enabling the build against
NSS. Any objections?
