[PATCH] GnuTLS: Work around failure to check certs against IP addresses

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2_at_infradead.org>
Date: Sat, 12 Jul 2014 17:59:56 +0100

From: David Woodhouse <David.Woodhouse_at_intel.com>

Before GnuTLS 3.3.6, the gnutls_x509_crt_check_hostname() function
didn't actually check IP addresses in SubjectAltName, even though it was
explicitly documented as doing so. So do it ourselves...

---
The cipher list problem was because Fedora's GnuTLS doesn't have SRP
support. Given that gnutls_set_priority_direct() actually *gives* us a
pointer to the part of the string that it objected to, our error
handling could stand to be improved somewhat at that point.
