Subject: nss: allow fifos and character devices for certificates.
X-Git-Tag: curl-7_65_0~81

nss: allow fifos and character devices for certificates.

Currently you can do things like --cert <(cat ./cert.crt) with (at least) the
openssl backend, but that doesn't work for nss because is_file rejects fifos.

I don't actually know if this is sufficient, nss might do things internally
(like seeking back) that make this not work, so actual testing is needed.

Closes #3807
