This is mostly a security release to fix an error in the handling of +CIPHER in the OpenSSL compatibility code. CVE-2016-3099 was due to the fact that mod_nss stopped parsing cipher strings when it came across a + for cipher re-ordering. NSS doesn't support re-ordering. The problem is that there may be very important things beyond it but an error wasn't return, it just stopped looking at the ciphers.

This release also updates the mod_ssl -> mod_nss migration script.

Support was added for SSL_PPTYPE_FILTER so that now NSSPassPhraseDialog can use exec: and call a script to get the password from systemd, for example.

And finally, I added some Valgrind suppression files to make finding memory issues a lot easier.
