1048876 - Update Mozilla 32 to use NSS 3.16.4

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect, P1)

Description

[Kai Engert [:KaiE:]]

This bug is for mozilla-beta 32, ONLY, because later branches already use newer NSS.

This bug is a follow-up to bug 1029561, to reduce transitioning impact after having removed 1024-bit-root-CAs for increased security.

This bug suggest to update the mozilla-beta 32 branch to NSS 3.16.4, which will include the following changes:

- bug 1045189 (a driver for this bug)
- bug 1046343 (a driver for this bug)
- a test suite fix (doesn't affect the code)
- a one line, obvious correctness fix to libpkix (1047210)
- a one line fix to make windows 64 builds work, doesn't affect other platforms

I don't think that this bug is worth noting but have added a relnote? to bug 1045189, one of the two drivers for this bug.
