[patch] enable NSSLOWHASH API

libfreebl.so is installed by security/nss, but the NSSLOWHASH hashing API is not enabled.

After building with the attached patch, it provides:

nm -oCD /usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so | egrep 'NSSLOW'
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a2f0 T NSSLOWHASH_Begin
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a380 T NSSLOWHASH_Destroy
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a340 T NSSLOWHASH_End
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a370 T NSSLOWHASH_Length
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a3c0 T NSSLOWHASH_NewContext
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a310 T NSSLOWHASH_Update
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a680 T NSSLOW_Init
/usr/local/lib/nss/libfreebl3.so:0004a2b0 T NSSLOW_Shutdown


And nsslowhash.h is installed - this declares these functions for the API.

Other distributions separate out libfreebl and install nsslowhash.h with the package that includes libfreebl.  FreeBSD installs lifreebl as part of the full nss port.  For example, on fedora:

% rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libfreebl3.so /usr/include/nss3/nsslowhash.h
nss-softokn-freebl-3.19.1-1.0.fc20.x86_64
nss-softokn-devel-3.19.1-1.0.fc20.x86_64

I'm not suggesting the freebsd do the same... that's just FYI.

Noticed by: hashing library detection failure (due to missing nsslowhash.h) in net/chrony's configure stage that causes the secure hash feature to be turned off.


QA:
 - portlint: pass
 - stage-qa: pass
 - testport: pass (9-stable i386)

FYI, here's a doc that talks about the API.
