NTS off the ground - time for testing

The server side needs a cookie and private key.

The K and I used to encrypt cookies is a hack constant so old cookies work 
over server reboots.

The client side defaults to using the system root certificates.  You can 
provide your own.

With the NTS flag, the client side tries NTS-KE, and drops into normal mode if 
that doesn't work.  If it does work, it sends NTS packets until it runs out of 
cookies.  Then it drops into normal mode.

The code to ask for extra cookies doesn't exist yet.  If it gets started, it will run in NTS mode until 8 packets get lost.
