crypto: add support for TLS priority string override

The gnutls default priority is either "NORMAL" (most historical
versions of gnutls) which is a built-in label in gnutls code,
or "@SYSTEM" (latest gnutls on Fedora at least) which refers
to an admin customizable entry in a gnutls config file.

Regardless of which default is used by a distro, they are both
global defaults applying to all applications using gnutls. If
a single application on the system needs to use a weaker set
of crypto priorities, this potentially forces the weakness onto
all applications. Or conversely if a single application wants a
strong default than all others, it can't do this via the global
config file.

This adds an extra parameter to the tls credential object which
allows the mgmt app / user to explicitly provide a priority
string to QEMU when configuring TLS.

For example, to use the "NORMAL" priority, but disable SSL 3.0
one can now configure QEMU thus:

  $QEMU -object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/qemutls,\
                priority="NORMAL:-VERS-SSL3.0" \
        ..other args...

If creating tls-creds-anon, whatever priority the user specifies
will always have "+ANON-DH" appended to it, since that's mandatory
to make the anonymous credentials work.
