Bug#701141: [PATCH 2/2] add several useful crypto utilities to libnss3-tools (Closes: #701141)

[Matthew Hall]

Well I have some things I want to encrypt with various symmetric keys, which I am required to protect using NSS's PKCS11 nssdb for reasons of FIPS compliance in my day job. In order to insert these into the nssdb symkeyutil is critical because certutil only supports asymmetric keys with certs.
