network-stream-tests.el uses the gnutls-serv executable to test TLS
connections. It would be preferable if we didn't have to rely on the
gnutls-cli package being installed (I don't install it normally).

Quick testing shows that 'make-network-process' doesn't mind being
asked to create a TLS server, but openssl s_client fails to connect to
it. I'll investigate further, as using the builtin TLS is the way
forward.
