** libgnutls: Removed superfluous random generator refresh on every call
of gnutls_deinit(). That reduces load and usage of /dev/urandom.
+** libgnutls: When gnutls_global_init() is called for a second time, it

+the original one. That behavior works around issues with servers that
+close all file descriptors.
