Details

All "Stan" functions call nss_SetError to set their Stan-style error codes
into Stan's error "stack".  But nss_SetError never sets the NSPR-style
error code.  It never calls PORT_SetError or PR_SetError.  Consequently,
in present NSS programs, whenever a failure occurs in any of the Stan 
functions, the program reports some NSPR-style error code that is unrelated 
to the real problem.

I propose that nss_SetError should have a table to translate from Stan-style
NSS error codes to the older NSPR-style error codes, and that nss_SetError
should do that translation and call PORT_SetError with the translated error
code.
