Steps to reproduce:

#402712 proposes adding a PEM handling software token to NSS.

Please add helper functions that make it easy to use the token, ideally completely hiding its existence: applications shouldn't need to know about magic token names, special nickname handling, and the like.  (See the NSS code in curl - it's dozens of lines.)

The functions should also probably allow directly specifying a PEM passphrase, bypassing the token login mechanism (in particular, avoiding the global state set by PK11_SetPasswordFunc so that libraries can use the PEM token without affecting the main application).
