Check filesystem permissions on NSS database at startup
See if the configured user has read access to the NSS database during initialization so the server can gracefully shutdown rather than ending up in a forking loop because the database is owned by root and is therefore unreadable once Apache starts forking. Adds a new configuration option, NSSSkipPermissionCheck <on/off>, to skip this check in case something goes wrong. https://fedorahosted.org/mod_nss/ticket/3
