gnutls: Allow overriding (per-host) of GnuTLS priorities via env. Fixes #11616 This allows a site to add workarounds for connecting to specific servers (like the reporter's) which are horribly broken when it comes to TLS 1.0+. The format (to be documented in the ChangeLog) is host=priority pairs delimited by semicolons (also pending a confirmation that gnutls_priority_init's documentation is wrong about semicolon vs. colon).
