On a slightly related note (in that it has to do with the same function),
it looks like gnutls_priority_init() doesn't free+NULL the
gnutls_priority_t on error, where various other init functions do
(gnutls_init, gnutls_pkcs12_init, gnutls_x509_crl_init, and maybe more).

Should it do so, or should it be noted in the documentation that callers
must call gnutls_priority_deinit on errors (which I'm going to do in this
code to avoid leaks, but would ideally eventually become a nop)?
