I don't think we should require gnutls >= 3.3.0

My patches (for both the server and client) worked with an older versions
of gnutls deliberately (certainly whatever ships with Ubuntu 14.04, which
I think is 2.12.23).

Is there any reason to depend on such a new version of gnutls? I
seem to remember that one tiny bit of set up took slightly more
calls on old versions.

My branch is at:
  https://github.com/abligh/nbd/tree/add-tls-support

if you want to nick the TLS code (including autotools etc support)
