NSS has long supported two database types: dbm & sql

Until recently, the default value was always "dbm"; however, with the upcoming release of Fedora 28 (rawhide), the NSS default has been changed to "sql".

Unfortunately, Dogtag does not yet support the NSS "sql" db type, and always expects the "default" NSS db type to be "dbm".

While another ticket exists to make Dogtag work with the "sql" database type, this ticket requests the invention of some sort of mechanism which allows one to select the "default" so that Dogtag will continue to work on Fedora 28 (rawhide).
