7.10 Support DANE

 DNS-Based Authentication of Named Entities (DANE) is a way to provide SSL
 keys and certs over DNS using DNSSEC as an alternative to the CA model.

 Add a way to check if the connection seems to be alive, to correspond to the
 SSL_peak() way we use with OpenSSL.

8.4 non-gcrypt

 libcurl assumes that there are gcrypt functions available when
 GnuTLS is.

 GnuTLS can be built to use libnettle instead as crypto library,
 which breaks the previously mentioned assumption

 The correct fix would be to detect which crypto layer that is in use and
 adapt our code to use that instead of blindly assuming gcrypt.
