NSS_Shutdown does not call RNG_RNGShutdown() to clean up RNG-allocated
data.

Please add a call to RNG_RNGShutdown() near the bottom of NSS_Shutdown().

If someone was to shutdown NSS (say, for a profile change), calling
RNG_Shutdown() would lose all of the collected (and very useful) entropy.  It is
better to keep that entropy, and let the rng context die with the process.  If
you want to avoid having this memory show up as a leak, use the define LEAK_TEST.

Marking WONTFIX.
