The NSS library often changes in ways that somehow breaks rpm,
and these days upstream does not care about consumers of NSS other
than itself. This inflicts untold amounts of suffering on users
of rpm in distributions where rpm is linked to NSS.

Now that we have a couple of good, well-supported options, there is
no reason to keep supporting NSS as an option.

So now, we are deprecating it for later removal.

As a small, additional commit, I've added a warning for when beecrypt is 
selected, just to be slightly more in-your-face about the deprecation.
