It looks like symlinking firefox and thunderbird's own copies of
libnssckbi.so to the system-wide p11-kit-trust.so is the proper way to
fix this bug, as far as Mozilla's products are concerned.

Before I proceed to doing this, I'd welcome comments from the security
team on this approach though, as I suspect I don't understand all the
implications.

(an alternative would be building firefox/thunderbird against the
system-wide nss, but firefox currently requires 3.50, which isn't yet in
focal, and I suspect that requirement is being bumped often, so that
wouldn't really work with our distribution model)
