  1. Add a warning when beecrypt is selected for the crypto library 

    Let's make it absolutely clear that selecting beecrypt is deprecated
and those continuing to use it should be aware that the option will
go away soon.

  2. Deprecate NSS support 

    The NSS library often changes in ways that somehow breaks rpm,
and these days upstream does not care about consumers of NSS other
than itself. This inflicts untold amounts of suffering on users
of rpm in distributions where rpm is linked to NSS.

Now that we have a couple of good, well-supported options, there is
no reason to keep supporting NSS as an option.

So now, we are deprecating it for later removal.
