gnutls/nss: Don't call the handshake functions synchronously. Fixes #11525 If the handshake callbacks are called sychronously and they fail (e.g. passing GnuTLS a bad priority string or doing voodoo with NSS, see #11524 for details), the error_cb is called and the gsc destroyed, but this happens /before/ the assignment to, e.g., js->gsc happens (see jabber.c:tls_init). Thus, js->gsc is assigned a (now invalid) pointer and jabber_close tries to free it (again).
