David Keeler af0ce9fbd6 bug 1357226 - work around a library inefficiency with EC keys when verifying ECDSA signatures r=fkiefer,jcj
Calling VFY_VerifyDigestDirect causes the provided SECKEYPublicKey to be
reimported to the softoken regardless of if it already exists on it. EC keys
must be verified upon import (to see if the point is on the curve to avoid some
small subgroup attacks), and so repeatedly doing this with a static key (say,
for example, a key corresponding to a built-in certificate transparency log) is
inefficient. This patch alters the certificate transparency implementation to
import these keys each once and then use PK11_Verify for ECDSA signature
verification, which doesn't have the same drawback.

Since this change causes CertVerifier to hold an NSS resource (via its
MultiLogCTVerifier having a list of CTLogVerifier, each of which now has a
SECKEYPublicKey), nsNSSComponent has to make sure it goes away before shutting
down NSS. This patch ensures this happens in nsNSSComponent::ShutdownNSS().
