xulrunner patch to make firefox use system nssdb

It shouldn't be an additional database; the application should open sql:/etc/pki/nssdb _instead_ of its old database. The libnsssysinit.so module automatically handles opening the user's own database in ~/.pki/nssdb as an 'overlay'.

With the NSS bugs fixed as described in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=603313 this works as expected; merging the old DBM database from the profile directory into the user's SQL database. If the system database isn't configured, then it just uses the DBM database as before.
