nss: upgrade to release 3.98
Fixes CVE-2023-5388
Also update README, and remove obsolete documentation of Debian's
mangled SONAME; relevant Debian changelog:
nss (2:3.13.4-2) unstable; urgency=low
* debian/control, debian/libnss3*, debian/rules,
mozilla/security/coreconf/*, mozilla/security/nss/lib/*/manifest.mn:
Move to unversioned library. ABI compatibility is ensured upstream, and
the SO version, if it needed a change at any time, would be a change in
the library name. There is no reason to keep making compatibility more
difficult with other distros and upstream binary releases. While
previous
versions were one-way compatible (binaries built against other distros
or
upstream nspr could work on Debian), this approach works both ways.
