bug#22493: 25.1.50; open-gnutls-stream doesn't respect :nowait, so the connections are synchronous

gnutls-negotiate (in Lisp) is basically a shim over gnutls-boot (in C).
It computes some parameters that are passed in as an keyword list to
gnutls-boot.

So: gnutls.el could be refactored to have a function that computes that
stuff, and then gnutls-mark-process could take that keyword list and
stash it in the process object.  connect_network_socket could then (in
:nowait mode) call gnutls-boot directly, keeping it all nice and safe in
the C layer.

That would obviate the sentinel, and make this all transparent for the
caller.

I think.
